What’s Unique About Arby’s Curly Fries
Many fast foods traditionally deep-fry their fries in oil. Arby’s, on the other hand, have switched it up and baked their fries instead. It’s healthier compared to the usual fry, and they taste amazing. Our version of the famous fries is well-seasoned with curly fry seasoning. It is then baked to perfection to achieve that fried-like crispiness. All without leaving the middle part undercooked.
Also, a piece of good news to those who are gluten-sensitive: We have made our homemade curly fries a vegan-friendly snack by substituting the binders. You can now enjoy this most satisfying finger food whenever you like.
As for its beautiful classic curl fry shape, using a twin curl cutter or a vegetable spiralizer will speed up the process. Now how do you make a curly fry without a curler? In case you don’t have one, we’ll also show you how to make this Arby’s fries recipe without it.
How To Make Curly Fries Without A Spiralizer
To make the curls, we only need two important tools, which are a skewer and a knife.
- Using the skewer, stick the point from the bottom of the potato until it peeks out on the other side.
- Then with your knife, slice the potatoes into spirals. Start from the bottom of the potato, rotating horizontally in an upward motion.
- Once you’ve reached the top, spread out the spirals before gently removing the skewer.,
The results might be larger than when you use a twin curler or a vegetable spiralizer, but they will still have that iconic spiral look.
The beauty of home-cooking is that you can avoid the unnecessary chemicals that most fast food has. It is a lot safer and cheaper. Even customizing your full meal is easier, too. Like how easy you can pair these fries with a scrumptious chocolate milkshake. Try recreating this recipe and have this comfort fast food right at home.

Commonly Asked Questions
Can I also air-fry the curly fries?
You definitely can! Preheat your air fryer to 395 degrees F, then place your uncooked, seasoned curly fries into your air-fryer. Let them cook for 10 to 15 minutes, making sure to stir every 5 minutes to help them cook evenly.
What can I use in place of the egg substitute?
An egg substitute is also known as an egg replacer. These powders are commonly found in most supermarkets and online groceries. But if you have none at home, a simple mix of equal parts potato starch, tapioca starch and cream of tartar will work just as well.
