Arby's recently gave one of its most popular side dishes a makeover in the form of the new Loaded Curly Fries. While Arby's is largely known for its roast beef, its Curly Fries are just as popular. Now the chain is giving its customers a new way to enjoy the deep-fried potato corkscrews by adding a smattering of savory toppings.
Arby's Loaded Curly Fries are comprised of the chain's original Curly Fries topped with various types of cheese and sauces. The toppings include shredded cheddar cheese, cheddar cheese sauce, parmesan peppercorn ranch sauce and big pieces of pepper bacon. Similar to poutine, the condiments help to give consumers a new way to enjoy a traditional side dish.
The Loaded Curly Fries are part of an ongoing shift towards experimental side dishes made with unexpected ingredients.
