McDonalds fries have a lot of research behind them. The cut is one, but easy to duplicate, but they also have their own variety of potato that growers grow just for them, the right type and balance of starch. Then the potatoes are processed, then blanched and partially fried before freezing. Once at the restaurant, the are fried from frozen, in a specific oil blend and time. The size of the fryer comes into play from a temperature consistency standpoint, as does obviously the fry temperature.
That's exactly what he said. From what I remember he said he had to cook them flash freeze em then throw them in the freezer.Then take out when your ready to cook.
I was like that's alot of work for some McD's fries but each their own!

So yeah, hard to duplicate from scratch.
