Found this in a cookbook. If you love McDonald's french fries like I do this is for you! I always makes 3to4 times the amount of potatoes at a time since it takes only a minute longer to peel them and cut into fries. If you follow the directions exactly the flavor of your favorite fries will be at your fingertips.Prep time included soaking and freezing times.
