McDonald’s french fries calories Instruction:
- First, peel the potatoes and cut them into thin, even-sized cubes. Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for about 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
- After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel.
- In a large deep pot or Dutch oven, heat vegetable oil to about 350°F (175°C).
- Working in batches, carefully slide a portion of the potato sticks into the hot oil. Make sure that the vessel is not overcrowded as this may affect the frying process.
- Fry the potatoes for about 5-6 minutes or till they turn golden brown and crisp. Keep stirring in between for even frying.
- Once done, use a slotted spoon or wire mesh skimmer to transfer the fries to a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.
- Sprinkle salt on hot fries while they’re still fresh from the fryer. Stir gently to distribute the salt evenly.
- Repeat the frying process with the remaining batches of potatoes until all the fries are cooked.
- Serve hot and crispy McDonald’s-style french fries right away as a delicious snack or as a side dish with your favorite meal.
