Not everybody is a fan of McDonald’s menu, but it’s really difficult to find someone who doesn’t love their french fries! To this day, they offer the best combination of crispiness and flavor on the market. Is there a way to recreate them at home? According to Popsugar, there is.
“We decided to take a deep dive into what it takes to create these golden, salty, downright potato-y fries,” the outlet writes. “Thanks to intel from MythBusters’ Grant Imahara, we were able to dig into the process and figure out how to engineer the best french fry we could. Are you brave enough to try this at home? Watch our video to find out how to recreate the magic!”
The recipe uses Idaho russet potatoes, so we recommend you find them for the best result. The original McDonald’s fries require over 14 different ingredients, but this recipe is less complicated. Soaking the fries in the sugar water solution before cooking them sounds surprising, but it adds a lot of flavor. You may also wonder if it’s really necessary to remove the fries from the fryer when they’re half-done, but this is also necessary if you want to replicate the original taste and texture.
Will you try making you own fries or do you prefer grabbing some in McDonald’s instead?
