Even if you cut your own fries from fresh potatoes, many chefs have suggested washing them, par cooking them, and freezing them before frying them. I use frozen fries, and double fry them. Of all the ways I have tried, that way turns out the best -- crisp outside, fluffy inside
No, most restaurants don’t make them fresh, including casual dining restaurants, because, it’s very time consuming to make them fresh, no, mostly they won’t flash freeze them, especially if a restaurant was making them fresh to order, a customer is not going to sit in a restaurant all day waiting on fresh French fries, they’d like to eat those fries with the rest of their meal , it’s simple basic common sense! They are going to bath the in ice water! Aka/ If someone is going to do flash frozen fries they are going to do it the night before hand or the morning of, it would be a very exhausting job and, still that restaurant would run into problems, because, you can’t estimate your customer ratio from one day to the next!
Yeah, even most casual restaurants do to, it’s because, restaurants have to decide what short cuts to make, even when, you run a restaurant, that doesn’t mean you can do it all, people would be waiting forever and you wouldn’t get your order as fast! It takes though nothing to make fresh French fries though at home, one it’s just simple common sense! Making Potato Wedges aren’t that complicated, mostly known in grocery store deli’s as Ho Jo fries!
The book "Fast Food Nation" has a chapter devoted to how the the frozen french fry industry adopted its business to supply the world with fries: how 75 cents of potatos becomes 6 dollars worth of french fries.
I would dare say 90% of large franchised restaurants use frozen French fries. Some even use exclusive manufacturers that make them to their specifications.
Making fresh french fries is a fairly time consuming process, and takes up a lot of space. I have no objection to frozen french fries at a fast food joint. Now the meat is a different story. The hero should be as fresh as possible.:)
Pretty much Wendy's, taco, McDonald's all have horrible fries I hate them all I only like McCain's frozen from the grocery store which is the only good fries frozen.
W/all die respect; McDonald's OVERSALTS its fries. Bc of that; this is y most customers will request NO SALT instead of "fresh" fries. If u request "fresh" fries, they still get (over)salted b4 u receive them. There4; it's best 2 request NO SALT (NOT "FRESH").FRIES (much 2 the chagrin of McDonald's employees).
That sounds like the most disgusting fries ever, McD's fries ae the best because they are crispy when fresh, with no mushy potato flavor or mouth feel. Once they have been sitting a bit means they get soggy and cold. Un salted fries are rather bland.
@@daveklassen7052 Sorry, Dave. U r missing the point. It's 1 thing 2 SALT THE FRIES; it's another thing 2 DROWN THE FRIES IN SALT.. Un4tun8ly; the majority of (not all) McDonald's locations r very notorious 4 OVERSALTING THE FRIES!!!!! As 4 unsalted fries being "bland"? It's a matter of preference but I stand by what I've said. Un4tun8ly; I completely disagree w/u RE: the "blandness" of unsalted fries (especially when unsalted fries actually have natural sodium in them via processing). The manner in how most McDonald's locations "salt" the fries is FUCKIN' RIDICULOUS!!!!! Again; I stand by what I've said & rest my case.
