MC DONALD'S CLASSIC FRENCH FRIES (COPYCAT)
My recipe for retro McDonald's french fries is timely and tedious, so if you can tough it, carry on! This is authentic to the original beef tallow fried potatoes until 1990, when tallow was switched out for shortening. Today, a shortening/vegetable oil blend is used.

Steps:
- MIX the BRINE in a 3 quart pot with an accompanying lid.
- PEEL 4 medium russet potatoes; CUT potatoes into 1/4" shoestrings (try to make them as uniform as possible; I use an adjustable-blade French-fry cutter).
- PLACE cut potatoes into the brine container; SEAL and refrigerate for at least 2 hours; BRING pot with brine and potatoes to a full boil; BOIL for 1 1/2-2 minutes; DRAIN and rinse potatoes under cold water; BLOT potatoes as dry as possible.
- PLACE potatoes side-by-side into freezer bags without touching, and without crowding; SEAL bags and freeze flat in refrigerator for at least 2 hours (just make sure fries are frozen solid).
- FILL deep-fryer with proper amount of beef tallow (or oil/shortening blend), to manufacturer's recommended amount; HEAT fryer in gradual increments to 375°F.
- PLACE 1/2 of the potatoes at a time into elevated deep-frying basket; GENTLY lower basket into hot fat.
- FRY for about 2 minutes but PAY ATTENTION TO THE COLOR -- potato color should be light golden brown with just slightly darker ends (see photo, and pull a french fry with tongs to test doneness if necessary); ELEVATE fry basket and shake to drain excess fat; SECURE basket and let drain for 30 seconds.
- TRANSFER fries into colander placed in sink; REPEAT with remaining potatoes.
- SEASON french fries lightly with fine flake sea salt while tossing (eat immediately, or keep warmed for a limited time in a 170°F oven).
- SERVE french fries with your favorite condiment and ENJOY!

Steps:
- Peel the potatoes. In a large mixing bowl, combine sugar, corn syrup, and hot water. Make sure the sugar is dissolved. Using a french fry slicer, cut the peeled potatoes into shoestrings. The potatoes should be 1/4" x 1/4" in thickness, and about 4" to 6" long. (You can do this with a knife, but it is alot of work).
- Place the shoestringed potatoes into the bowl of sugar-water, and refrigerate. Let them soak about 30 minutes.
- While they're soaking, pack the shortening into the deep fryer. Crank up the temperature to "full". The shortening has to pre-heat for a very long time. It will eventually liquify. After it has liquified and is at least 375°, drain the potatoes and dump them into the fryer. (be careful, it will be ferocious).
- After 1 to 1 1/2 minutes, remove the potatoes and place them on a paper towel lined plate. Let them cool 8 to 10 minutes in the refrigerator.
- While they're cooling, add the lard or beef drippings to the hot Crisco®. Again, crank the temperature to full. Stir in the lard as it melts into the oil. It will blend inches.
- After the deep fryer is reheated to 375°-400°, add the potatoes and deep fry again. This time for 5-7 minutes until golden brown. Remove and place in a large bowl.
- Sprinkle generously with salt, then "toss" the fries to mix the salt evenly.
- Serve hot, serve immediately, and enjoy! Depending upon the size of the potatoes, this recipe make about 2 medium sized fries.
- Special Notes: If you want more fries, double the recipe---but DON'T double the cooking oil. Just cook them in shifts, adding about 1/4 cup more Crisco® and 1 tablespoon lard for the second batch.

- In a large bowl, mix the corn syrup and water together with a whisk until fully combined. Add the potatoes to the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to an hour.
- As the potatoes soak, fill a Dutch oven or large pot halfway full with the frying oil and heat on medium until it reaches a temperature of 350 F.
- Remove the potatoes from the water solution and carefully pat them dry with a kitchen towel, making sure to absorb as much water as possible.
- Working in batches, so as not to overcrowd your frying, add a couple handfuls of potatoes to the oil and fry them for 2-3 minutes, gently stirring so they don’t stick together. Remove them from the fryer and place on a paper towel-lined baking sheet. Once you have fried all the potatoes for the first cook, transfer the baking sheet to the refrigerator or freezer for 15-30 minutes to allow them to cool down and firm up.
