The original McDonald's French fry recipe using beef tallow.

Provided by Emmy

Categories     Lunch     Side Dish

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 cup sugar
1 tbsp corn syrup
1 1/2 cup hot water
2 Russet potatoes (large)
6 cups Crisco shortening (or 3 sticks)
2 cups vegetable oil
1/4 cup beef tallow

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, add the sugar and corn syrup followed by the hot water. Use a whisk to make sure the sugar and syrup are dissolved. Set aside.
  • Peel the potatoes, then rinse them in cold water.
  • Set your mandolin to ¼"x ¼" sticks.
  • Using the guard included with the mandolin, slice the potatoes into sticks.
  • Each fry should like this:
  • Add the cut potatoes to the bowl of sugar-syrup water and soak for 30 minutes.
  • Drain the potatoes in a colander and pat lightly with paper towels.
  • In a 5-qt pot, add the shortening and the vegetable oil. The oil should only fill ⅓ of the pot. Heat the oil to 375˚F.
  • Add a handful of drained potatoes to the oil. The oil will bubble fiercely. Do not be tempted to add more potatoes.
  • After 1 minute, use a slotted spoon to remove the fries onto a pan lined with a rack or paper towels.
  • Refrigerate the fries for 8-10 minutes.
  • Add the beef tallow to the oil.
  • Heat to 375˚F.
  • Return the fries to the oil, frying in small batches for 1-5 minutes depending on the size of your fries.
  • Once golden, remove the fries and drain them onto a paper towel-lined plate.
  • Place the warm fries into a large bowl, sprinkling them generously with salt, tossing to coat.

MC DONALD'S CLASSIC FRENCH FRIES (COPYCAT)



Mc Donald's Classic French Fries (Copycat) image

My recipe for retro McDonald's french fries is timely and tedious, so if you can tough it, carry on! This is authentic to the original beef tallow fried potatoes until 1990, when tallow was switched out for shortening. Today, a shortening/vegetable oil blend is used.

Provided by The Spice Guru

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 2h25m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 medium peeled shoestring-cut russet potatoes
8 cups cold water
2 tablespoons fine sea salt
2 1/4 teaspoons granulated sugar
3/4 teaspoon white pepper
3/4 teaspoon citric acid or 2 tablespoons white vinegar
100% grass-fed beef tallow
fine flake sea salt

Steps:

  • MIX the BRINE in a 3 quart pot with an accompanying lid.
  • PEEL 4 medium russet potatoes; CUT potatoes into 1/4" shoestrings (try to make them as uniform as possible; I use an adjustable-blade French-fry cutter).
  • PLACE cut potatoes into the brine container; SEAL and refrigerate for at least 2 hours; BRING pot with brine and potatoes to a full boil; BOIL for 1 1/2-2 minutes; DRAIN and rinse potatoes under cold water; BLOT potatoes as dry as possible.
  • PLACE potatoes side-by-side into freezer bags without touching, and without crowding; SEAL bags and freeze flat in refrigerator for at least 2 hours (just make sure fries are frozen solid).
  • FILL deep-fryer with proper amount of beef tallow (or oil/shortening blend), to manufacturer's recommended amount; HEAT fryer in gradual increments to 375°F.
  • PLACE 1/2 of the potatoes at a time into elevated deep-frying basket; GENTLY lower basket into hot fat.
  • FRY for about 2 minutes but PAY ATTENTION TO THE COLOR -- potato color should be light golden brown with just slightly darker ends (see photo, and pull a french fry with tongs to test doneness if necessary); ELEVATE fry basket and shake to drain excess fat; SECURE basket and let drain for 30 seconds.
  • TRANSFER fries into colander placed in sink; REPEAT with remaining potatoes.
  • SEASON french fries lightly with fine flake sea salt while tossing (eat immediately, or keep warmed for a limited time in a 170°F oven).
  • SERVE french fries with your favorite condiment and ENJOY!

COPYCAT MC DONALD'S® FAMOUS FRENCH FRIES



Copycat Mc Donald's® Famous French Fries image

I found this recipe on another site and just had to save it here. My brothers and Father just love Mcdonalds french fries, so if I can make them at home for much cheaper it would be a win-win situation. I have not tried the recipe yet but will very soon

Provided by KeystoneGal06

Categories     Potato

Time 1h

Yield 2 medium size fries, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 large idaho russet potatoes
1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons corn syrup
1 1/2-2 cups hot water
6 cups shortening
1/4 cup beef lard (or save the fat from previously cooked burgers)
salt

Steps:

  • Peel the potatoes. In a large mixing bowl, combine sugar, corn syrup, and hot water. Make sure the sugar is dissolved. Using a french fry slicer, cut the peeled potatoes into shoestrings. The potatoes should be 1/4" x 1/4" in thickness, and about 4" to 6" long. (You can do this with a knife, but it is alot of work).
  • Place the shoestringed potatoes into the bowl of sugar-water, and refrigerate. Let them soak about 30 minutes.
  • While they're soaking, pack the shortening into the deep fryer. Crank up the temperature to "full". The shortening has to pre-heat for a very long time. It will eventually liquify. After it has liquified and is at least 375°, drain the potatoes and dump them into the fryer. (be careful, it will be ferocious).
  • After 1 to 1 1/2 minutes, remove the potatoes and place them on a paper towel lined plate. Let them cool 8 to 10 minutes in the refrigerator.
  • While they're cooling, add the lard or beef drippings to the hot Crisco®. Again, crank the temperature to full. Stir in the lard as it melts into the oil. It will blend inches.
  • After the deep fryer is reheated to 375°-400°, add the potatoes and deep fry again. This time for 5-7 minutes until golden brown. Remove and place in a large bowl.
  • Sprinkle generously with salt, then "toss" the fries to mix the salt evenly.
  • Serve hot, serve immediately, and enjoy! Depending upon the size of the potatoes, this recipe make about 2 medium sized fries.
  • Special Notes: If you want more fries, double the recipe---but DON'T double the cooking oil. Just cook them in shifts, adding about 1/4 cup more Crisco® and 1 tablespoon lard for the second batch.
