Albert Heijn Friet aardappelen (Iets kruimig)

Albert Heijn's Friet aardappelen are specialized potatoes selected for making fries, marketed as 'iets kruimig' (slightly floury) to ensure a balance between a fluffy interior and a crispy exterior when fried or oven-roasted. The brand is the house label of the largest supermarket chain in the Netherlands, Albert Heijn (often abbreviated as AH), which was founded by its namesake in 1887 in Oostzaan.

Historically, the brand grew from a single grocery store into a national powerhouse and later formed the foundation of the Ahold corporation. In 2016, Ahold merged with the Belgian Delhaize Group to form Ahold Delhaize. While the potatoes are typically sourced from Dutch farmers under the 'Beter voor Natuur & Boer' (Better for Nature & Farmer) program, the ultimate ownership lies with the Dutch-Belgian multinational retail group headquartered in Zaandam. The product is a staple of Dutch grocery retail, emphasizing local sourcing and sustainable agricultural practices within the Netherlands.
