Kyle MacLachlan Leads the Return of Arby’s Potato Cakes

Kyle MacLachlan, renowned for his iconic roles in “Blue Velvet” and “Twin Peaks,” has embarked on a new culinary adventure as the face of Arby’s Potato Cakes. The beloved side dish, which disappeared from menus in 2021, has made a triumphant return to Arby’s locations nationwide as of July 1. The actor, a self-professed carbohydrate enthusiast, is spearheading this revival through a playful campaign dubbed “The Order of Potato Cakes.”

MacLachlan, who is thrilled to be part of this campaign, shared his preferred way to enjoy a Potato Cake. He loves them classic style, paired with Arby’s sauce or ketchup. However, he’s also open to innovative combinations, suggesting that adding a Potato Cake to an Arby’s Beef ‘N Cheddar sandwich with Horsey Sauce could be a game-changer.

In a series of promotional videos released by Arby’s, MacLachlan enthusiastically embraces his role. One video shows him unearthing a glowing Potato Cake, while another features him narrating an orientation video for the “Order of Potato Cakes,” encouraging fans to achieve “true Potato Cake enlightenment.”

The actor humorously noted that his “Twin Peaks” character, Agent Dale Cooper, would also be a fan of Potato Cakes, ideally paired with a hot black coffee to balance the rich flavors. This whimsical nod to his famous role adds a layer of nostalgia for fans of the show.

The excitement doesn’t stop at the return of the Potato Cakes. Arby’s is also rolling out limited-edition merchandise to commemorate the occasion. Fans can purchase unique items like a Potato Cake Amber Necklace, a Potato Cake Candle, enamel pins, T-shirts, and hoodies from ArbysShop.com while supplies last.

Arby’s announced the return of its crispy, golden-brown Potato Cakes on July 1, much to the delight of fans who have been clamoring for their comeback. Since their discontinuation, Potato Cakes have been a hot topic on social media, with mentions exceeding 10,000. Passionate supporters even initiated online petitions and created fan accounts to bring back the cherished side dish.

Arby’s Potato Cakes are available at participating locations for a limited time, with prices starting at $2.39 for a three-piece order. Fans eager to relive their favorite side dish should act quickly before this popular item disappears from the menu once again.
