MCDONALD'S ORIGINAL FRENCH FRY RECIPE
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.

Steps:
- Combine the brine ingredients and set aside.
- Peel and rinse that potatoes.
- Slice them into strings just under ½ inch. (A french fry potato cutter makes this easy.)
- Place them in the cold brine as you slice them. Ensure the potatoes are completely submerged. Add more cold water if needed.
- Cover and place the brine in the fridge for 2 hours or overnight.
- Drain and rinse them twice with cold water. Pat them completely dry.
- Preheat oil to 300 degrees. (A dutch oven and oil thermometer is very helpful.)
- Fry the potatoes in batches for about 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towels. They will be very soft. (This is a good thing.)
- Add the vegetable shortening and increase the heat to 400 degrees. Fry in batches again until golden brown. (It's hard to be patient during this part.)
- Remove and place on paper towels. Season with salt right away and serve!

MC DONALD'S CLASSIC FRENCH FRIES (COPYCAT)
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.

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!

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.
