How Five Guys fries are made

[@RapturousBulge]

Five Guys does it right. Simple products made right and made fresh. Love these videos. Keep 'em coming!

[@jesseandfriends1]

Ive never had properly cooked fries at five guys to the point I just stopped getting them.

[@AngelaCaldwell-r4s]

Excellent video! I recommend to everyone!

[@michaeldaniel73]

I was a general manager at a Five Guys for several years. Cutting and prepping the potatoes is no joke. We would usually cut 4-6 bags in the morning and maybe some more before dinner

[@michaeldaniel73]

Rinse those potatoes until the water is clear… get rid of all that starch

[@texasforever5776]

Well ya'll were doing it all wrong....you need to wash every potato by hand....that means scrubbing each potato by hand.

[@chrisdart7087]

At our location we cycle the potatoes through the veggie wash usually 3-4 times until all starch is gone than we transfer into another sink where they will be constantly agitated through out the day! Great video!

[@josephbenitez2851]

You're thinking he removed the fries too early but if you notice there's a Time skip he wasn't going to sit there and have y'all sit through so many minutes of fries just tumbling in water

[@tylerlastname3236]

Not sure why you don't let the fries get spun around for a few minutes. That's very important.

I did, I cut the video.

Glad to see you use Norkotah potatoes. A great potato for fries. It's a relatively new variety that's been genetically modified for yields and consistency.

[@luke1811]

Yeah, looks as natural as a shoe sole

[@RFSpartan]

No fucking thank you to genetically modified anything

[@Christian-dq6tz]

I worked at Five Guys Berlin-Alexanderplatz and I washed the fries at least 2 times to remove all the starch. Probably there is to much in there.....(and not should be)

You gotta get in between your fingers more while washing your hands

[@cineronsystemlords759]

[@MikhailFederov]

Proof that the fries can be made fresh and actually taste good. Fuck In-n-Out

[@racheljohnson2219]

I rarely go to five guys which I haven’t been there in so long but I do love it! My question is the why do you guys put so many fries in the bucket? When I got my food, there were so many fries and fries kept spilling out because they were overloaded! I do love your the fries, though! I just wonder why you guys put so many in the carton or whatever it’s called

[@Cory-n4g]

Good he's washing the peter beaters..... getting the first in potatos good... I want to try these fries now I'm hungry

[@sirgreat5348]

after you prep the fries, how are they stored before being fried? don't fries need to be stored in water to prevent browning?

[@mp5kmaster95]

Yes fries are washed until the starch is gone and the water is clear. He should have filled the first wash sink up first so the fries were washing while he cut them to get rid of the starch. The way he did them he would have to fill up that second sink and drain the water until it's clear. If they are stored in water for too long they will start to become slimy and will be thrown away. On the other hand if they are left out of water for too long they will start to turn brown and then black after long enough.

[@colinstu]

Do all 5 guys rinse their fries like that? I swore I've been to a couple where they launch the fries from the cutter directly into the fryer… and it's awful. Always soggy and oily and burned tasting.

no need for gloves, the fries will be cooked in a deep fryer at 325 to 375 degrees afterwards, so there's no risk of a customer getting sick
