摘要

Disclosed are oil enrobed par-fried potato strips suitable for oven finishing comprising: (a) par-fried potato strips having from about 34 % to about 58 % bulk moisture; and (b) from about 8 % to about 30 % fat. The par-fried potato strips have a substantially uniform surface coating of oil or fat. The surface coating comprises from about 2 % to about 15 % by weight of said par-fried potato strips. When oven finished, the oil enrobed par-fried potato strips have substantially the same taste, quality and characteristics as French fries that have been deep fried.
