MC DONALD'S CLASSIC FRENCH FRIES (COPYCAT) RECIPE - FOOD.COM



Mc Donald's Classic French Fries (Copycat) Recipe - Food.com 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.

Total Time 2 hours 25 minutes

Prep Time 2 hours 18 minutes

Cook Time 7 minutes

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!
