⬇️⬇️⬇️ RECIPE ⬇️⬇️⬇️
Start with 4 or 5 long potatoes
Cut of the ends and cut off the sides to make the potatoes
square but long. Cut the potato in slices about 1/8 inch thick
then lay those slices flat and cut strips the same thickness
so your fries are the same size as McDonald's.
Soak in cold water for 5 minutes then drain on a paper towel.
In a pot put enough water to cover the fries when laid out in
a big flat dish. Stir in corn syrup and sugar as the water comes
to a boil. I used 1/2 cup corn syrup and 1/2 cup white sugar for 12 cups of water. (adjust accordingly) Once the sugar is dissolved and
the water reaches a boil "turn off the heat" and drop in the fries.
Let them soak for 10 minutes then drain on paper towels.
Now place the fries in the freezer for 20 minutes.
Heat your oil to 350 degrees. (I used canola oil) drop in the fries
and deep fry them for 2 minutes only. Put then on a tray and let cool for 10 minutes. Drop them back in the oil for 7 minutes.
When they come out of the fryer lay the fries out and dust them with salt. Toss then a bit... and Enjoy!
Hope you subscribe to our channel! Thanks! steve hall

Love this Guy! My aunt Beth worked at a McDonald's in San Bernardino in the late 60's & early 70's and she stated back them they added "beef flavoring" when frying and what they cooked them in was actually "Lard" at that time....we tried her reflection of the past recipe a couple years ago and they were absolutely "Dynomite"! You may have to look a little harder to find lard nowadays, but it's readily available in the Mexican supermarkets or meat markets. It's also a lot healthier than these "fake fat" oils the FDA has put over on us over the years. We now only cook in lard and my cholesterol has went from well over 250 down to around 130-145, so don't believe the hype about the fake fats! Bon Appetite!

The best fries I ever had in my life were in a restaurant I worked in as a teen. They peeled the potatoes, sliced them with a potato slicer, then let them sit in the refrigerator overnight uncovered. When they took them out the next day they were slightly brown. They were then deep-fried. The chef told me that when you let them sit and brown overnight it brings all the sugar to the surface. They were the best fries I ever ate in my life. I understand that Nathans used to do this with their fries years ago, before they processed them in a plant and froze them.

This is another great recipe from the master chef himself!! I made these fries tonight. I followed the instructions and they turned out PERFECT! I am amazed at how good they are. I actually made 7 potatoes instead of Steve's 4. I wanted extra. It made the equivelant of about 6 or 7 large fries from McD's. They cost around $5 each. I made 6 or 7 for about $6 total. Pretty good if you ask me. And hey.... would it have been way easier and faster to simply go to my McDonalds and just go in the drive thru and buy 7 large fries? Well of course. But that takes all the fun out of it. I love cooking for my family. I'm always trying new recipes. It's a labor of love, that's for sure. We don't cook because we have to. We do it because we love to! Thank you so much for such a fantastic recipe. Will definitely continue making in the future. God Bless!❤

True control, love that. This guy could be making tutorials of making grandiose dishes from all over the world but instead he makes tutorials of fast food "junk". But the energy and how he truly explains to the audience in what way he loves this type of food is captivating. Inspirational in a way.

I thought the sugar/syrup stage was a bit crazy, but decided on blanching the potatoes in boiling water with a teaspoon of golden syrup (partially inverted syrup) and a teaspoon of salt. They cooked for around three minutes, then I took them out. First fry for ten minutes at 150 celsius, then a final fry at 190 celsius until they were golden. Absolutely perfect. Not sure exactly what the sugar solution did, but they stayed crispy even after they had cooled down. Thanks for your advice and tips! I think I have cracked it thanks to your advice!

Hope you enjoy

These fries are superb, I had to adjust the recipe slightly as we don't have corn syrup in the UK. My grandchildren live 40 miles from their nearest McDs so this is going to be a treat on my next visit once our lockdown is lifted. Thank you for sharing

Thank you for showing us your cutting technique on cutting McDonalds fries. I never knew making McDonalds fries were so technical. I’ve learned alot watching your video. Thank you for sharing this with all of us

You are so welcome! 👍😊

@aberdeenmeadows 4 года назад

Amazing technique and video! I will be using your technique! This last week, I decided to try to make fries on my own and I instinctively cut the fries small like you did. The first time, made them crispy and the second go they came out absolutely perfect. There is something about homemade fries!!!! After making them from home, I can now get my fix by cooking a batch at home!

@CookingwithShotgunRed 4 года назад

I want to try this. I rarely buy anything at mcdonalds , except the fries

@cg5469 2 года назад

If you had a mandolin slicer you could cut the 2nd step, rectangle ones perfect thickness (about 1/4+ inch). I like skin-on fries. Must try this recipe!

@TonySzak1 2 года назад

I have been making French fries for a long time and I watched this video and decided to try it out. I will say, you nailed it! These fries were exactly like you described. No ketchup needed. They are worth the effort. All I would suggest is that you deep fry them in lard. They were amazing. Thank you for the video.

They used to call small fries like this shoestring potatoes....McDonalds fries are the best for about 10 minutes after you get them, and then they degrade rapidly as they cool

@samwaldorf8777 4 года назад

I prefer steak and shake's shoestring fries. theyre still good even cold.

@TheSorakiba 4 года назад

That's very odd... I have never in my life heard of anyone calling a fry as large as a Mcdonalds fry, a "shoestring" fry. I have only ever heard of fries about a quarter to maybe one-third of that size being called "shoestring" fries. Can you describe when and where people called fries as big as Mcdonald's fries "shoestring" fries... I'd like to look into that matter, and why it changed.

@Lrussel5 4 года назад

McD fries have always been shoestring fries in my area.

@zeroturn7091 4 года назад

Air fry them. It’s not the same, but at least they’re salvageable.

@pjmckinney9658 3 года назад

David Garza you're absolutely right I always reheat them that way or in the toaster oven. Works every time.

I have been cutting and home frying French fries since 1979. I couldn’t care less if they are long or short. Sometimes cut thin and sometimes thicker but it helps to make a bag of russet potatoes go farther with no waste. I agree with mixing so lard in with the French Fry oil for a really old fashioned taste.

@Sio513 4 года назад

I tried it with an airfryer! I did everything like you did it, except the frying part. It worked perfectly. At first I fried them in the airfryer for 10 minutes with 120°C. It makes them dryer and soft from the inside. After that I added a little oil and fried them again for about 7 minutes and 180°C. They are sooooo delicious and taste exactly like the Mc Donalds French fries! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Awesome! Also, then best part of these home made ones is, it's done in fresh oil, so these are probably much better.

Shoestring french fries. The best way is to cut them by hand. I'm a cook by trade as well. Tuning in from Wilmington Delaware 2020.

I live in Southern Idaho and we have THE BEST potatoes in the world- Burbank russets! I've tried other methods, some that do a water or ice bath, some that call for overnight soaking, and some calling for boiling, blanching, and 2nd frying. I like your method the best. Thank you!

But you can go..... all restaurants stayed open where I live and we try to eat at the mom and pop restaurants they only serve take out orders some have even started delivering and doing contactless delivery where they set the food down on a chair or table at your door step back and wait for you to open the door and get it and then they leave. It’s nice to support the mom and pop stores/restaurants in these times if we don’t then they will close.

@gurnblanstein9816 4 года назад

@mrbunnyjr 4 года назад

Great video. The real trick though is to never throw out your oil. I've been using our family oil, passed down to me from my mother, who received it from her mother and so on. Several generations of fry fat in every batch gives 'em that depth of flavor you just can't get elsewhere.

@CookingwithShotgunRed 4 года назад

True! :)
