Venus Shoestring Frozen French Fries 2kg | Shoestring Frozen French Fries

Product Introduction

Venus Shoestring Frozen French Fries are thin-cut frozen fries with a net weight of 2kg per pack. The thin design heats up faster, making it easy to achieve a crispy golden exterior while keeping the inside fluffy, suitable for classic French fries, cheese fries, meat sauce fries, party snacks and side dishes for Western steak meals.

No need to thaw the product in advance; it can be cooked directly from the fridge using deep frying, air frying or oven methods. The large pack is suitable for family gatherings in Hong Kong, snack bars, restaurants, cha chaan tengs, clubs and parties.

Detailed Product Description

Venus Shoestring Frozen French Fries are processed with potatoes as the main ingredient, adding edible vegetable oil and a small amount of glucose and other ingredients. The larger surface area of the thin Shoestring cut means they become crispier faster than regular thick fries, with a lighter texture, making them especially suitable to pair with burgers, fried chicken, steaks, hot dogs and sandwiches.

Fries can be cooked directly from a frozen state, saving time on peeling, cutting and pre-processing potatoes. The packaging suggests using cooking oil not exceeding 175°C and frying approximately 500g of fries for approx. 2 min 45 sec to 3 min until evenly golden brown.

Because thin fries color more easily than thick fries, pay close attention during cooking to avoid deep brown or over-crispy results.

Product Information

Ingredients

Potatoes, edible vegetable oil, glucose, and food additive sodium acid pyrophosphate (Sodium Acid Pyrophosphate).

Sodium acid pyrophosphate is generally used to process potato products to help maintain product colour and processing quality.

Packaging Nutrition Information

Packaging is based on 100g, approximately 37 chips per serving; each 2kg pack contains approximately 20 servings.

The above is the frozen product nutrition information indicated on the packaging. Actual fat and calories after frying are affected by the type of cooking oil, oil temperature, frying time, serving size, and oil absorption of the chips.

Nutrition per serving

Energy and Carbohydrate

Per 100g indicates 150 kcal and 23g carbohydrates. Chips are mainly made from potatoes, and carbohydrates are their main source of energy.

Fat

Per 100g frozen product indicates 5g total fat and 2.5g saturated fat. Frying increases actual oil intake; air frying or baking generally reduces additional oil added during cooking, but the final nutritional value still depends on the actual method.

Dietary Fibre

Per 100g indicates 2g dietary fibre. For formal advertisements using nutrition claims such as 'source of dietary fibre', please confirm compliance with Hong Kong nutrition claim regulations first.

Sodium

Before adding extra seasoning, per 100g indicates 15mg sodium. After adding salt, cheese sauce, gravy, or other sauces, the sodium content of the finished product will increase accordingly.

Potassium

Packaging indicates 390mg potassium per 100g. Persons with special restrictions on potassium intake, such as some kidney patients, should control portion sizes according to medical advice.

Packaging recommended frying method

1. Keep chips frozen; do not thaw before cooking.
2. Preheat cooking oil to not exceeding 175°C.
3. Place approximately 500g frozen chips at a time.
4. Fry for approximately 2 minutes 45 seconds to 3 minutes.
5. Remove when evenly golden brown.
6. Drain excess oil, then add seasoning as needed.

If the serving size per fry is less than 500g, cooking time should be shortened. Do not fry chips to dark brown or excessively burnt.

Air Fryer Method

The following is a suggestion for a home air fryer and is not the packaging specified method:

1. Preheat air fryer to 190°C to 200°C.
2. Place frozen chips directly into the fry basket without thawing.
3. Do not overfill at once to allow hot air to circulate.
4. Air fry for approximately 10 to 15 minutes.
5. Shake the fry basket two to three times during cooking.
6. Fry until golden and the outer layer is crispy.

Different air fryers have different power levels, capacities, and portions of fries, so the actual time needs to be adjusted. The fries already contain vegetable oil and generally do not require the addition of a large amount of cooking oil.

Oven Method

1. Preheat the oven to 210–220°C.
2. Spread the frozen fries in a single layer on the baking tray.
3. Avoid overlapping the fries or stacking them too densely.
4. Bake for approximately 15–22 minutes.
5. Turn once halfway through to ensure even colouring on both sides.
6. Remove immediately once golden.

If using the hot air convection function, you may slightly lower the temperature or shorten the time according to the oven instructions.

Crispy Tips

• Do not thaw before cooking to prevent the fries from becoming soft or sticking together.
• Do not put too many fries in the oil at one time when frying.
• Insufficient oil temperature can easily cause the fries to absorb more cooking oil.
• Fries should be arranged in a single layer when air frying or baking.
• Turning halfway through helps with even colouring.
• Seasoning should be added while the fries are still hot.
• Fries should be enjoyed as soon as possible after frying to maintain crispiness.
• Aim for golden colour; do not aim for dark brown.

The Centre for Food Safety of Hong Kong recommends that when frying or baking starchy foods such as potatoes, the target colour should be golden or lighter to avoid cooking for too long at high temperatures and to reduce the formation of acrylamide.

FAQ

Do the chips need to be defrosted first?

No. It is recommended to keep them frozen and cook them directly in a deep fryer, air fryer, or oven. Defrosting may cause them to become soft, release water, or stick together.

Can I use an air fryer?

Yes. It is recommended to air fry at 190–200°C for approximately 10–15 minutes, shaking the basket a few times halfway through. Adjust the actual time according to the air fryer's power and the quantity.

Can they be cooked in an oven?

Yes. Place the frozen chips in a single layer on a baking tray and bake at 210–220°C for approximately 15–22 minutes, turning them over once halfway through.

How many servings are in a pack?

The packaging defines 100g as one serving, so a 2kg pack contains approximately 20 servings. When used as a main dish side, adults can budget approximately 100 to 150g per serving; for party snacks, adjust according to the number of dishes.

Are shoestring fries crispier than thick-cut fries?

Shoestring fries have a relatively larger surface area, which typically makes them easier to achieve a crispy texture, but they are also more prone to over-browning, so oil temperature and cooking time need to be controlled.

The packaging states 0g of trans fat. Can we claim 'zero trans fat'?

Do not make Hong Kong nutrition claims based solely on overseas packaging formats. Hong Kong has specific conditions for 'trans fat free' claims, which involve not only trans fat content but also the combined total of saturated and trans fats and energy ratios. The applicable Hong Kong nutrition data should be verified before formally using this claim. Hong Kong Food and Drugs (Composition and Labelling) Regulations

Is the calorie count still 150 kcal per 100g after frying?

Not necessarily. 150 kcal is the product nutrition value indicated on the packaging. After frying, French fries may absorb extra cooking oil and lose moisture, so the actual calories and fat per 100g of the finished product may increase.
