We love snacking, and there’s nothing better than munching on some French Fries—and who makes better fries than everyone’s favorite fast-food chain, McDonalds? If you want to make these at home, however, you’re in luck! Making McDonald’s fries at home is actually quite easy and can be a fun and tasty way to satisfy your fast food cravings without having to leave the house. Here’s how to do it.
Ingredients:
- potatoes
- vegetable oil (such as canola or peanut oil)
- salt
- seasonings (garlic powder or paprika)
- garlic powder
- paprika
Instructions:
- Wash and cut the potatoes into thin fry-like shapes. Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes.
- Drain and pat the potatoes dry with paper towels. Heat up the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large pot until it reaches 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Carefully place the potatoes in the oil in small batches and fry for 3-4 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove the fries from the oil with a slotted spoon or spider strainer and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
- Season the fries with salt (and any other seasonings, if desired) while they are still hot. Serve immediately, while they are still warm and crispy.
