Yet another popular dish is leaving a fast-food chain’s menu.
Arby’s is reportedly discontinuing its Potato Cakes, according to The Takeout.
The website reported Monday that the fast-food chain decided to stop selling Potato Cakes after releasing its new Crinkle Fries as a permanent menu item alongside Arby’s famous Curly Fries.
According to The Takeout, Arby’s Potato Cakes are expected to be removed from menus on June 1.

Arby’s isn’t the only fast-food chain to remove a potato dish from its menu.
Last year, Taco Bell removed several potato-based dishes to simplify its drive-thru menu during the pandemic. However, the change led to complaints and even some protests from vegan fans who loved the potato dishes.
However, by January of this year, the fast-food chain decided to put potatoes back on its menus.
