They’re most commonly called “potato sticks,” and you’ll also see them described as “shoestring potatoes” or “shoestring potato sticks.” On Walmart.com, these usually refer to the thin, crunchy, ready‑to‑eat snack you’ll find in cans, canisters, or bags.

• Potato sticks: The general name for the thin, crispy snack.
• Shoestring potatoes: Another common term you’ll see on packaging.
• Shoestring sticks/fries: Sometimes used to describe the same thin-cut style.

Quick tip: Some items labeled “potato sticks” are frozen sides or appetizers rather than shelf-stable snacks. If you’re looking for the crunchy snack, check the product type and storage instructions on the item page.

It’s a thin-cut potato snack that’s cooked until crisp and lightly seasoned for a crunchy bite. On Walmart.com, you’ll find them as shelf-stable snacks in cans, canisters, and bags, plus a few related items that use the same term differently.

• Shelf-stable snack: Ready to eat, typically thin “shoestring” pieces.
• Frozen sides/appetizers: Some products use “potato sticks” to describe a fry shape or a stuffed appetizer—these require heating.
• Ready-to-fry snacks: A few items are uncooked and meant to be fried at home.

To get what you want, check the storage notes (e.g., “keep frozen” vs. “shelf-stable”) and the preparation instructions on the product page.

A little smart storage can help maintain crunch after opening.

• Seal them tightly: Close canisters firmly. For bags, roll them down and use a clip, or transfer to an airtight container.
• Store in a cool, dry place: Keep away from heat, sunlight, and humidity, which can soften texture.
• Limit air exposure: Open only what you plan to enjoy, and reseal promptly after serving.
• Portion for convenience: For larger containers, divide into smaller airtight jars to reduce repeated opening.

Enjoying them within a reasonable time after opening can also help preserve crunch, but results can vary based on your storage conditions.

They’re great straight from the can or bag, and they add crunch to lots of quick bites.

• Snack bowls: Mix with nuts, pretzels, or crackers for an easy party mix.
• Top it off: Sprinkle over burgers, hot dogs, or tacos for texture.
• Soup and salad crunch: Use as a garnish just before serving so they stay crisp.
• Lunchbox side: Pack a small airtight container for an on‑the‑go snack.
• Casserole finish: Add a handful at the end for a crunchy topping.

For the best crunch, add potato sticks right before serving rather than mixing them in advance.
