- Enjoy those delicious McDonald's french fries - and want to make them at home?
In this episode James will show you how to make french fries that are IDENTICAL to McDonald's fries, using ingredients you already have at home - or can buy locally for pennies.
One potato? Sir I happen to be American and in America we happen to take pride in multiplying ingredients by at least 25 for a small serving
Your comment made me laugh so much XD
Thanks for the recipie. As a tip for yall, I cut up about 7-10 large potatoes and do all the steps until the freezing part. Then I Take out the amount I want to eat, fry them the second time, and let the rest stay in the freezer, ready for the next 5 times I want to have good home made fries....saves alot of time.
Just tried the recipe...they smell, taste and look exactly just like the original fries. Thanks man, awesome recipe!
There is a group of Cambodian children completing and repeating all these steps in the basement of every McDonald's restaurant.
The fries tastes really good. I added two ingredients from someone else's mcds fries recipe and it tastes really good. It was worth the time.
I love the part were you washing the fries it was so funny when you make it fast
My friend(Deepika) and myself tried this amazin easy fries recipe and it was just so yummlicious
We actually felt that we were in Mc'd and finish the entire bowl by ourself.
You have done a great job by sharing this awesome recipe...Thanx again
Nice. Blanching is needed to remove sugars (not starch) and the choice of the oil is important (McDonald's use soybean). If you store potatoes in a less cold place you need just one bowl of water to blanch them. To dry them more (having more cooking time without getting coloured) try to put something acid in the first bowl of fresh water (lemon juice would work as well). Let me know what you think and if you try it.
they taste identical but they dont look identical lol
great job! looks good!!
I just made the fries and they were great.... perfect. I cut down some times a little and everything turned out great.....thanks for the tips...spent about 1 hour and 15 mins.
Just perfect !!!!
Can smell the flavor from your your cooking
Will use my sunday for family cooking
Thanks a lot
These are the best homemade fries I've ever made! Thank you for sharing!
I just finished making these and eating them and i must admit they really did taste like mcdonalds fries and i had some sweetand sour sauce at home so it was even better ! nice video
For your American fans, McDonalds uses Idaho russet's. Just so you know! I cannot wait to try this!
Well it seems to be a lot of work, but considering that you can make as much as you want, this is probably a very nice way to make delicious fries.
Thank you for uploading.
It must be the boiling that makes most of the difference. I do a 2 cook method with frying everything at a lower temp, then second frying is done at a higher temp to brown what is already cooked through. I will give this a shot and see if there is a difference. Nicely done video. I enjoyed it very much. Best thing to do is make a whole bunch and freeze them. My grandson will be able to tell me if it's like Mcdonalds lol
He sure uses a hell of a lot of paper towels! LOL
I started making my own french fries not too long ago. MUCH healthier than fries at McDonald's and tastes better, too. If you wanna make them in the oven I suggest adding salt and olive oil.
I'm pretty sure I can replicate identical mcdonalds chips by taking a shit in a box.
the good news, those fries do look good...the bad news, I'd get fired from work for not showing up. Boss: why were u not at work today? Me: spent the day making fries. Boss you're fired! Me: no fries for you!
Thanks for your post, I must say I learned something today, and I liked that friendly face you gave us at the end. Don't mind some evil people who take pleasure in giving negative comments where they are not called for; that's perhaps their way of trying to get off their frustration, shouldn't remove that smile on you!
in mcdonals, it takes about 5 min to give you extra big fries, mcburger, a shake, three cookies, some chicken, and a soda, all for around 10$
The other "secret" is that they add beef flavoring in the mix. They used to add a small bit of beef lard to the oil years ago, but changed the recipe to I believe beef broth, due to health concerns. Also, heard to soak them in a sugar/corn syrup mix also.
you can use a v sliser to cut it so you get the same frie and its quick
I just tried it out and its soooooooo good, I only go to McDonalds for their fries anyways and now!! I'll never have to go again LMBO.
very good job i just tried this not too long ago, they taste great as if i was eating mc donalds
That is a very sweet fryer! :) I had a little one like that, but forget to take it it when it started to rain. It didn't like that obviously. ;)
Nice video! I just think I'd eat them all myself! ;)
or you can just go buy them
We dont go and buy everyday
took me like 3 hours to make a few fries lol. i think ill stick with driving to mcdonalds and buying large fries lol.
I AM A VETERAN MCDONALDS FRENHH FRY EATER AND I CAN TELL YOU THAT WHILE THESE FRIES DO LOOK TASTY THEY ARE NOT THE SAME AS THE ONES FROM MCDONALDS!
such hatred people on here.... I tried it and loved it... turned out great.... He is being cool to share it and you got hatred people leaving hate as usual on internet hiding behind there walls.... was awesome recipe....My second try came out even better... practice makes perfect. Thanks again and lookin forward to more :)
Too all the people saying just buy them at McDonalds this is a process that can be done with say a whole bag. Once you put them in the freezer you can leave them for whenever. So in a week you have those same great fries but only the 4-5 minutes of cook time. The blanching process just needs to be done to get that crispy taste. Leave the skins on ad you have Wendy's fries.
There is a small trick here some of you are missing: you don't have to go though whole cooking process on the day you want to eat fries. You can prepare a lot of them sometime and get to the part where you freeze them. Then you will actually want to eat them, all you do is fry them for 4-5mins and you're done!
Of course ! Because McDonald's french fries require nuclear power plant to be cooked ! :D
i'm actually eating McDonald's french fries as i'm watching this video.
i did this today, except i didn't blanch them i shallow fried them then dried the oil off them out them in a bowl and into the freezer and then waited 20 minutes (not as long as you did) after that they were very soggy so i was kinda worried but then i shallow fried them again just so they were crispy and they were absolutley sensational!
Anyone one else watching this because you're supposed to be revising but are hungry?
i made some for my mom and she was liKE WHAT SON YOU MADE THIS ?
They look so good.. I'm going to try them in a bit
I cannot believe that you put those fries with cod. It should go with a huge bacon cheeseburger. I thought your video was really cool!
in a skillet on the stove if that's what you have... you don't need a fryer to fry. Some of the best frying is done in a cast-iron skillet.
it still cracks me up
I would probably just drive to the closest one and pick them up if I was doing a BBQ, but this will be good for people without a McDonalds close to them or if they don't have a car!
you have to blanch it to make it crispy. In Mcdonalds its already pre-prepared so all they have to do is to re-fry it
Looks scrumptious!
u know this is easy for me to watch :D Am Dutch and i love it :P
Nice post exactly what i was thinking . This is what your bag ready chips have already been though =) Much nicer when you cook it your self =)
if you add about 2 tablespoons of white wine vinegar, garlic powder and a pinch of bouillon to the 1 hr soak stage it makes them much better.
Hello, To answer your questions, removing the starch reduces the chances that the fries will stick together, and also, gives a crisper fry.
I don't know if we have a chip fryer but if we do i will be more than happy to cook these as i just LOOOOOOVE food and just LOOOOOOOOVE making food
Thank you so much! I will use very soon.
Well I'll say these fries don't come out tasting like McDonalds but still, thanks for posting this video. The fries came out tasting great. I did cut down on the time (30 mins not an hour each step) but I still liked the way they came out.
Make more videos dude! u ROCK~!
what the... that's way too much salt!
Wow you are awesome man I loved it and I love McDonald so much
thank you for this video. Come 7:00 tonight I'm sure I will think your evil for showing me how to do this at home. I've made it over a year with out McDonald's. :)
as long as it doesnt stay in my stomach for weeks....im cool with this
Ok I tried these, and the texture and crispness are right on target. The flavor is missing something (knowing McDonalds, its probably msg or some other chemical). I was excited because I've never made homade fries that weren't like leather ...
dude seriously it's not identical.. it's even more delicious..
Well Its Kinda a Lang Process But The Longer Part is That When U Put the Fries in A Bowl And Cover it And 2nd Just Put It In The Freezer And Wait And While Your Doing That You Can Well Just Do Anything Its Not A Waste Of Time People
@scaledodger1 they're blanched at the factory before the fries are packaged to go to the restaurants. This is pretty much standard in the food industry. In/Out Burgers is probably one of rare exceptions. If fries aren't blanched then they will have that layer of starch on them and will not crisp up soon enough.
It is more than apparent that a majority of persons are not motivated and they are more than welcome to eat whatever it is that McDonald's is serving them (GMO's, questionable edibles
You forgot the artificial flavour enhancers.
If it's bad for me I love it
I watched this while eating a mcdonald's large fires 2 dollar cheeseburgers and a sweet tea
MAKE MORE VIDEOS!!! I'm pretty sure you can make more than just french fries
Not bad video, but probably a bit inaccurate. Potatos are made of mostly starch, but not loose starch as in the water. The fries are cut 1/4" x 1/4". The boiling water contains salt, which is why McDonalds fries are salty even if no salt added. The potatos are not just any potatos - mostly 90% are J. R. Simplot Russets. Often grown in Idaho with Simplot fertilizer (not organic potato). Such phosphate fertilizers contain trace Cadmium. So does normal table salt & oil.
lotta work but actually tastes great
I watched a japanese documentary on the making of these fries, and they said McDonalds add's a tiny amount of sugar into their salt mix.
Didn't realize that you should de-starch potatoes before frying.
I could have set a roast dinner for the whole family during the same time.
Awesome...thnxx man...best french fries i ever made...guyzz the video is very useful..:)
Watching this at 10:30pm and my McDonald's is prohably closed by now.. Really hungry :/
Where tf do you live???
foamysqueak11 you know, not all country have a 24hours McDonalds
hateonmeliketheydo mine's up till 2:00 AM
I seriously don't know why people hate on videos like these -.-
This was great!
ummmm mouths watering
in german mc donald restaurants they are not that saulty xD .. .... and if i make them at home i just cook them and then put in the oven with a bit oil ...
but this video is really good .. i try it ^^
Thanks
This looks a lot like my old kitchen in Crawley....
For Americans: Serving size is 5 potatoes per person.
I'd love to know what model of deep fat fryer you used in this video. It seems so small and cute!!!
i love you james colins!!!!!!!!
use vegetable shortening....I know thats what they used. I had someone who worked at mcdonals steal me a whole jug of it. I made my fries with it and they were amazing.
thats actually a good idea put them in a freezer and save them for later
dude thnx for uploading this, i love frites :D
driving to mcdonalds and buying them takes less time? and maybe even cheaper :P minus the gas though xD
thank you
Now I'm hungry
@Empolo18 Yeah McDonalds fries with all the preservatives. It's still a bit more healthier homemade than from a fast food restaurant.
WOW THE SALT!!
Can you completely freeze them, tho'? I believe MacDo stores them frozen themselves. This way, maybe you could make a bunch first, keep 'em in your freezer and take out a little basket or so as needed? After the prep time, I mean...it would only be like 4-5 minutes of frying for a nice side dish.
I would lose my appetit while I would prepare those fries....
@Empolo18
ofc 2 dollars are nothing in USA , but here in Switzerland for ex. it cost 4 CHF just the medium portion.
you know i like cooking too but 2 hours for fries is kinda ridiculous. but im sure you have your reasons. i give you props =) great video
very good sir ! thanks for uploading. :-)
You can put them in the oven but they wont taste like mcdonalds, and chilling them doesnt matter. If you dont have a frier, just put some oil in a pan and put a lid on it, same thing.
*actually all i do is cut it up then put them in water to takes away the starch then put them in boiling vegetable oil then take them out after two m inutes then take the oil off then let them cool and fry them again for 1 minute enjoy this should take about 30 minutes
Wow. One hours goes rely fast!!!!!
Am doing this right now
Thanks!!!
So does the Mc Donald's processing place for these chips do all these things before they send the frozen fries off to mcdons to be fried once.
Hey, they look good, but I notice you didn't have any veggies with your meal.
The fish look good by the way.
