Potato Corner Queen Street is a takeaway at 2/350 Queen Street in Auckland's CBD, serving the flavoured fries the Potato Corner chain is known for. It holds a 4.5 rating from 111 Google reviews, with updates posted on Instagram at @potatocornernz.
The appeal of a flavoured-chip takeaway is all in the timing. Seasoning clings properly only while the fries are hot, so the better stands fry in small batches and toss the flavour through at the last minute rather than leaving chips under a warmer. A good sign is a deep, even gold and a crisp, dry coating rather than a pale or greasy cup. Regulars know flavoured fries peak within minutes, so most eat them on the walk, and a small cup often beats a big box unless you are sharing straight away.
Tucked into Queen Street's lunchtime bustle, this branch is a handy hot-snack stop between the shops, offices and lecture theatres of central Auckland.
