Would you like fries with that? Makikihi Fries
How do you like your fries? Straight cut, steak cut, crinkle cut or jacket cut?
The good news is, with Makikihi Fries, you don’t have to settle for just one favourite. Made from golden-flesh potatoes grown here in South Canterbury, Makikihi Fries have become a staple in Kiwi households, whether served alongside a family dinner or shared with friends over a relaxed weekend gathering.
Founded in 1983 by Jac Bleeker, Makikihi Fries is a family-run business based in the small rural township of Makikihi, South Canterbury. From these humble beginnings, the brand has grown to become a beloved name throughout New Zealand.
“Using high-quality ingredients and keeping things simple are the secrets to our success,” says sales manager Hayley Crothers. “While most manufacturers use seed oils, we stay true to the traditional approach by par-frying our fries in rich beef tallow, which gives them that classic golden crunch and fluffy interior.”
Whether you’re planning a Friday night feast, firing up the barbecue, or looking for the perfect side dish, Makikihi Fries are a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. Available at supermarkets nationwide, stock your freezer with this reliable go-to.
