Tex's McDonalds French Fries 🍟 step by step

  1. Peel the potatoes and chip thinly to 9mm or ⅜" thick and about 2½-3 inches long. Preferably, cut on a mandolin set to 9mm or ⅜“. If you don't have a mandolin, you can use a knife, but try to keep them all the same thickness, so that they cook uniformly.

  2. Mix the ingredients for the sugar water in a bowl, making sure the sugar dissolves. Refrigerate the potatoes in the sugar water for 30 minutes.

  3. While they soak, heat the oil to 190°C (375°F). Drain the chips in kitchen paper and put carefully in the fryer. Cook for 1 - 1½ minutes.

  4. Put in a kitchen paper-lined bowl, and allow to cool in the fridge for 10 minutes. If you're adding beef lard to the fryer, do it now and bring the temperature back to 190°C (375 °F).

  5. Add the fries back to the fryer and cook until they float and are golden brown, then put back in the kitchen paper-lined bowl. Put on the plate.

  6. Add ½ teaspoon of salt and shake well. Finally, eat and enjoy.
