These Frozen French Fries with Espelette Pepper from Cité Gourmande are prepared from skin-on potatoes and lightly seasoned with Espelette pepper, a traditional chili from the Basque region of France. The fries are pre-fried and frozen to maintain their texture and flavor. Packaged in a 500g bag, they offer a convenient potato side dish suitable for both professional and home kitchens.

Detailed Information

The fries are produced using selected potatoes cooked with sunflower oil and a small amount of extra virgin olive oil, then seasoned with salt, tomato powder, and Espelette pepper. This regional chili is known for its mild heat and slightly fruity character, adding subtle warmth rather than strong spiciness.

Cut with the skin intact, the fries develop a crisp exterior when cooked while maintaining a soft interior. The seasoning highlights the distinctive flavor of Espelette pepper, commonly used in southwestern French cuisine.
