Arby’s is bringing back its beloved Potato Cakes, much to the delight of fans who have been calling for their return since they were discontinued in 2021. The fast-food chain announced on Monday that the crispy, golden-brown side dish is once again available at locations across the United States—but only for a limited time.
“For the past three years, Arby’s fans have mourned the loss of their beloved Potato Cakes since they disappeared in 2021,” the company stated in a press release. “In the past year alone, more than 10,000 mentions of Potato Cakes have surfaced on social media, with loyal customers passionately pleading for their comeback.”
The overwhelming demand has even led to online petitions and dedicated fan accounts advocating for the return of the crispy, triangular potato side. Now, Arby’s is answering the call, giving customers a chance to once again enjoy the popular menu item. The returning Potato Cakes are available nationwide, with pricing starting at $2.39 for a three-piece order.
The Order of Potato Cakes: A Tribute to Devoted Fans
To mark the occasion, Arby’s has introduced The Order of Potato Cakes, a playful concept designed to unite fans who have long awaited this moment. The campaign features actor Kyle MacLachlan, known for his roles in film and television, as the leader of this exclusive group. His character is tasked with spreading the word about the return of Potato Cakes and ensuring that no fan misses out on the opportunity to indulge once again.
“As a devoted fan of Potato Cakes myself, I’m honored to spread the word about the return of our cherished menu item,” MacLachlan said in the release. “We’ve been waiting for three long years, and our voices have finally been heard. Thanks to The Powers that Beef, Potato Cakes are back at Arby’s!”
While Arby’s has not confirmed how long the item will remain on the menu, fans are encouraged to get their fill while they can. Given the enthusiastic response and the significant demand for their return, it remains to be seen whether Potato Cakes will become a permanent fixture once again.
For now, Arby’s lovers can savor the long-awaited comeback of this crispy, flavorful favorite—before it’s gone once more.
