McDonald's French Fries Remake | Best Crispy French Fries

[@videodistro]

No one will ever beat the old fashioned McDonald's fries when deep fried in beef lard. No one. Even Kent. They were out of this world mouth watering.

[@garygruber1452]

Thank you for always saluting our veterans. My father and my uncle both landed at Omaha Beach on D-Day, and both made it home.

[@billmccullough2323]

More than a few decades ago, when I was in high school, I worked at a McDonalds. That was back in the days that they made fries in the store instead of them being processed in a factory, frozen and delivered to the store. We had Russet Potatoes in a 50 lb bag. A machine with sand paper like lining all over the inside that would spin around and peel the potatoes. Next step was to slice them with a slicer very similar to the one Kent used except it was mounted on the wall vertical. A fry basket under the slicer would catch the fries and the basket would be placed on a rack that held a bunch of fry baskets. Next was for each basket of fries to be blanched, very similar to Kent's first round of frying. The baskets would be placed back on the rack and moved to a convenient location to be easily grabbed and dropped into the vat for frying, then dumped into a bin, salted and served in a paper container. The oil that went into the vat said vegetable oil, packaged in a 3 gallon tin with a spout in one corner. The salt that was in the salt shaker came in a large bag and said French Fry Salt. Kent, you got pretty close to the exact same thing, just a little more love put into it that probably just makes em better than any McDonald's could ever do.

[@victorpapillon1487]

Even further back they used to fry potatoes in Tallow

[@dougprentice1363]

McDonald's fries used to be so good. Now they are soggy and Luke warm. Kent's fries sound to hard crunchy instead of crisp. Maybe it's just the mic.

[@Handsoffthekids]

Yeah as someone who worked at KFC back in the day, we made everything that day fresh except the little desserts. Industrial sized equipment effectively used and maintained by high schoolers. I was 15 at the time.

[@angelonicassio7131]

I always have beef tallow on hand. I save all of my hamburger and roast drippings. I gave up pork. So, I use it in place of lard for frying. Just got to keep it sealed in the refrigerator. This recipe looks great. I'm definitely using it the next time I make fries.

I just bought another grease pot from dollar general to store my hamburger grease for fries! I already had one for bacon grease.

[@lancegardner8560]

It's good for preserving as well. Cooked and jarred hamburger patties covered in tallow stays good practically forever.

Hi Cowboy Kent, first time buyer and user of a Lodge 12inch skillet. I sanded per your instructions and then some. First coat avocado oil followed by three flax seed oil. First use, I made your french fry recipe last night came out great (you mentioned deep fry potatoes). Bacon and eggs this morning, bacon delicious, eggs stuck just a little bit (you warned me) took some seasoning off back in the oven, seasoned. I check other videos too, but no one compares to your advice I always come back to your videos for instructions. You are the best thank you so very much. Love your recipes too as well as your sense of humor.

[@CowboyKentRollins]

Thanks Nick and your on the right track

[@ryancurtis4692]

Salad spinner to dry the fries is my go-to.

[@GreatDataVideos]

In the mid-1960's, I was in the Cub Scouts and we got a tour of the new McDonalds in town. We started in the back room where there were huge piles of potatoes. They don't make them by hand anymore. Your version looks way better than the current McDonalds fries.

[@windblownmccoy2908]

I'd be curious about all that's changed, and to hear how awesome McDonalds used to be. Would make a good video or investigative report. Happy New Years 🍾🥂

[@parkwood6334]

@@windblownmccoy2908 I remember the 'old' Macdonald's fries and they were awesome. I wish they still used beef tallow for frying.

[@armyguy9735]

Kent, we are very similar, we experiment on foods for best flavour and nutrition. My way of making french fries is simple. I buy quality pre made frozen fries and cooked them once in beef tallow or grease for approximately 4 minutes. Take them out of the grease into a large bowl and season with salt right away. I swear to you that the easy and best French fries EVER. I tried different oil, different seasoning, triple or double cooked fries. For me, this was the knock out fries, and the easiest fries EVER. I promise. Great videos, big fan and keep up the good work.

[@dennisdubendorf2953]

Back in 1966-67, I worked at McDonald's and one of my jobs was making the French fries. I remember carrying one hundred lb sacks of potatoes up from the basement then peeling them in peeling machine. Taking the peeled Potatoes and slicing them into fries. Then washing them in cold water three times (all the while watch by the public). Then the potatoes were placed in baskets and blanched for a few minutes (I don't remember actually the minutes). They were Then ready to be finished frying and salted and served. That's my memory after 54 years.

[@jimedson3853]

I too worked at McDonald's in the late 60s. Only thing I would add is that the fries had to completely cool down to room temperature before the finish frying. They could be left on the rack overnight if needed because they had a coat of grease on them. Peeler took off about 80-90 percent of the peel.

But a life on the road eating junk fast food I would rather cook myself. But two that I know of and both really small chains. David's Burgers and a Tex Mex small chain called Ta Molly's.
