Arby’s potato cakes are now permanent on the menu, reports say
CABIA President Tom Manzo joined ‘Fox & Friends’ to discuss how the minimum wage increase has impacted the fast food industry as thousands are forced out of work.
Potato cakes are back at Arby’s for good, the restaurant chain confirmed on X Thursday morning.
Arby’s, owned by Atlanta-headquartered Inspire Brands LLC, reintroduced potato cakes last July after removing them from menus in 2021 in favor of crinkle fries.
“After the overwhelming excitement from our fans following the brief return of Potato Cakes in July 2024, it was clear how much our guests truly missed them,” Jeff Baker, Chief Marketing Officer at Arby’s, said in a statement to FOX Business.
“We constantly get calls, messages and comments on social media about Potato Cakes. Since we’re in the business of making Arby’s fans happy, bringing Potato Cakes back was a no brainer for us,” Baker continued. “It is a small way we can show appreciation to our guests for their passion and loyalty. Potato Cakes are permanently back, and we couldn’t be more excited to enjoy them together once again.”
