Abstract
Food product pieces are formed with corrugations on opposite sides thereof, wherein the corrugations are substantially parallel and of substantially equal frequency and amplitude, and wherein the corrugations on one side are phase-shifted with respect to the corrugations on the opposite side by about 1/4 of the pitch distance of the corrugations. As a result, a food product piece with unique texture, flavor and appearance is produced after later cooking processes.
Claims6
A food product comprising a potato slice or potato dough sheet having substantially parallel corrugations on opposite surfaces thereof, said corrugations having substantially the same frequency and amplitude, wherein the corrugations on one surface are phase shifted with respect to the corrugations on the opposite surface by about 1/4 of the pitch distance of the corrugations.
