Sweet potato fries are a simple way to give a familiar side dish a more vibrant appearance, a mildly sweet flavour and higher nutritional value. Wernsing 11×11 mm fries are already cut and pre-fried in sunflower oil, so in a professional kitchen only the final cooking step is required. This is particularly important during peak service hours, when speed and consistency directly affect the guest experience.
Why does this product help the kitchen work more efficiently?
Compared with preparing fresh sweet potatoes, there is no need for peeling, cutting or time-consuming preparation. The kitchen reduces manual labour, peel waste and the water consumption associated with preparation. The consistent 11×11 mm cut helps standardise cooking and portion sizes, while the individual 2.5 kg packs make stock rotation and planning easier.
The cost per kilogram of the finished product should not be compared solely with the purchase price of fresh ingredients. The true portion cost also includes staff time, trimming waste, energy, water and unused leftovers. A pre-prepared, uniformly cut product makes these variables more predictable and helps control food costs more accurately.
Key benefits:
- - Fast preparation during busy service – the product is ready for the final cooking stage.
- - No peeling or cutting required – less preparation work and more time for customer orders.
- - Easy portion control – the standardised cut helps maintain the required portion size and calculate food costs.
- - Less ingredient waste – no peel or cutting waste, while only the required quantity needs to be taken from the pack.
- - Versatile use – suitable for burgers, meat, chicken and fish dishes, as well as children’s menus.
- - Suitable for multiple sales channels – can be served in-house, for takeaway and for delivery, using the appropriate cooking method and ventilated packaging.
- - Easy upselling – offer sweet potato fries instead of classic fries for an additional charge, as a larger portion or as part of a meal deal.
- - A basis for a profitable snack – “loaded sweet potato fries” with sauces, cheese and toppings can create a separate menu item with higher perceived value.
- - Easier stock planning – the frozen product in a standardised 4 × 2.5 kg format helps predict consumption and replenishment frequency.
One Product – Multiple Menu Opportunities
Serve sweet potato fries as a side with a burger, steak, chicken fillet or fish. Use them in meal deals, children’s portions or as a snack with two or three sauces. To increase average spend, offer sweet potato fries as an upgrade from classic fries for an additional charge. Meanwhile, a “loaded” version with chilli sauce, cheese, spring onions or other toppings can turn one product into a standalone, visually appealing dish.
For the best results, follow the product preparation instructions, standardise portion sizes and avoid overloading the fryer or oven. For delivery, use packaging that allows steam to escape and check the product quality within the intended delivery time.
