Mcdonald's French Fries - Plus OAMC Instructions image

I found this recipe yesterday on http://mobile.seriouseats.com and tried it tonight for supper. I made a few mistakes (mostly time and equipment related), and they still turned out pretty close! Oh yeah, don't let the vinegar scare you. You won't be able to taste it. I promise.

Time 12h10m

Yield 2 medium, 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 lb russet potato (about 2 large potatoes)
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1/2 tablespoon salt
1 quart water (for boiling)
peanut oil or vegetable oil, for frying
kosher salt, to taste (optional)

Steps:

  • Peel potatoes and cut them into 1/4-inch strips.
  • Keep fries in a bowl of water until ready to cook.
  • Place fries and vinegar in a saucepan.
  • Add salt and one quart water.
  • Bring to a boil over high heat, and boil for ten minutes.
  • Potatoes should be tender but not falling apart.
  • Drain and spread on paper towel-lined dish, and let dry for five minutes.
  • Heat oil in a 5-quart Dutch oven over high heat to 400 degrees Farenheit.
  • Add about one third of the fries, being careful not to let oil overflow.
  • The oil should drop to about 360 degrees.
  • Cook for 50 seconds, stirring occasionally.
  • Remove fries to another paper towel-lined dish.
  • Allow oil to return to 400 degrees, and repeat until all have been fried.
  • Allow fries to cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
  • Here, you may proceed to the final frying or freeze potatoes at least overnight or for up to two months before frying.
  • Bring oil to 400 degrees over high heat.
  • Fry half of the fries for about 3 1/2 mintues until crisp and light golden brown, keeping oil at around 360 degrees.
  • Drain on paper towel-lined dish and season to taste with kosher salt.
  • Keep cooked fries warm in the oven on a broiler pan or a wire rack on a baking sheet at 200 degrees Farenheit while frying remaining batches until ready to eat.
