Mcdonald's French Fries at Home image

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.

These fries were a bit too greasy for my taste, but they were still good. I think I will try baking them next time.

The fries were perfect! They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. I served them with a side of ketchup and they were delicious.

These fries were a bit too salty for my taste. I think I will use less salt next time.
