This Video Shows How to Make McDonald's-Like French Fries at Home

Many of us firmly believe McDonald’s french fries are the best french fries. You don’t have to head to the fast food joint for a nearly identical version you can make at home.

PopSugar takes the ingredients and process McDonald’s uses to reverse engineer their fries. Like Serious Eats’ copycat recipe, which we’ve salivated over before, PopSugar’s take uses peanut oil instead of the mix of oils McDonald’s uses (but omits the vinegar in Serious Eats’ version). This version also adds corn syrup in place of McDonald’s use of dextrose, to help the fries caramelize, and adds beef fat to replicate McDonald’s beefy flavor bath. As with making extra extra crispy fried chicken, you’ll give the potatoes a second fry for super crispiness.

Check out the very enthusiastic video above for the whole process or the link below for the text version. Or head here for more McDonald’s copycat recipes and tips.
