⬇️⬇️⬇️ RECIPE ⬇️⬇️⬇️
Start with 4 or 5 long potatoes
Cut of the ends and cut off the sides to make the potatoes
square but long. Cut the potato in slices about 1/8 inch thick
then lay those slices flat and cut strips the same thickness
so your fries are the same size as McDonald's.
Soak in cold water for 5 minutes then drain on a paper towel.
In a pot put enough water to cover the fries when laid out in
a big flat dish. Stir in corn syrup and sugar as the water comes
to a boil. I used 1/2 cup corn syrup and 1/2 cup white sugar for 12 cups of water. (adjust accordingly) Once the sugar is dissolved and
the water reaches a boil "turn off the heat" and drop in the fries.
Let them soak for 10 minutes then drain on paper towels.
Now place the fries in the freezer for 20 minutes.
Heat your oil to 350 degrees. (I used canola oil) drop in the fries
and deep fry them for 2 minutes only. Put then on a tray and let cool for 10 minutes. Drop them back in the oil for 7 minutes.
When they come out of the fryer lay the fries out and dust them with salt. Toss then a bit... and Enjoy!

sad to know it's almost 2 yrs that this guy passed away. I'm not surprised but still sad. This is my first time seeing his vid and u can tell he loves what he does. What a gentle soul. rip
He did loved to cook for people. Thanks for watching this video.😀👍
He seems like a really kind soul. RIP good brother.
That device looks like one of those old Vegomatics from the 1960s.
As I watched this video,I was thinking,this is the best and closest way to make fries exactly like McDonald's do.Maybe his are even better.I was quite sad when I read your comment and learned of his passing. My first time to see him too.I agree with you ,he sure did enjoy his work.Did it like a boss.May he rest in Peace.I will use his recipe in tribute to him.
🥺
Grew up in Idaho, worked at McD's.... I can promise you, this is not the McDonald's way, this is actually better.
Fills my heart with so much joy seeing that Shela is still liking every comment on this channel. May God bless you.
You deserve 2 hearts! :) Thanks for watching!!! :):)
Have seen this vid b4 …
This is my third ; fourth time watching this. .. he us missed. But he truly “does” live on…every time you do anything close to how he chef’s or purchasing a lodge caste iron skillet 🍳. ✌️. I did.
A great great chef. ..
Manga manga. ..
✌️
Great she is also cooking too. There's a big smile looking down on her.
Love this Guy! My aunt Beth worked at a McDonald's in San Bernardino in the late 60's & early 70's and she stated back them they added "beef flavoring" when frying and what they cooked them in was actually "Lard" at that time....we tried her reflection of the past recipe a couple years ago and they were absolutely "Dynomite"! You may have to look a little harder to find lard nowadays, but it's readily available in the Mexican supermarkets or meat markets. It's also a lot healthier than these "fake fat" oils the FDA has put over on us over the years. We now only cook in lard and my cholesterol has went from well over 250 down to around 130-145, so don't believe the hype about the fake fats! Bon Appetite!
I use bacon grease.
😊👌(No chefs kiss)
Thanks for the good advice. I agree, the FDA is full of bologna!
@@danielgodfrey4415 I do too, but only bacon from unprocessed pork bellies that I cut myself. The packaged bacon is full of chemical preservatives and other crap.
My mom always used lard. She lived to age 96.😊
Check your supermarket for Morrells lard. It's in the butter section. It's the best.
My wife and I just made these fries last night, exactly according to your recipe, and they were honestly the best fries we've ever eaten. And now I just learned that shotgun red recently passed away, I was so sad but I will always thank you for the gift of this French fry recipe.
Thanks for trying!
How did he pass? Hopefully it was a peaceful one
Every time I find a good cook I find out they passed
No way I didn’t know, I will always miss his awesome cook vids
I will give this a try and that's too bad about his passing. I appreciate his sharing of all the great recipes.
Just made these for my Granddaughter and her freind. They absolutely loved them. The legacy of Shotgun Red lives on 😊
Fantastic!!! Making memories!
Thank you Steve and Sheila for teaching me how to make McDonald’s fries!! I made them tonight and all my boys & husband LOVED them! Wow!!! We couldn’t believe how much they really tasted like McDonald’s fries 🍟
Thanks again!
I just recently learned recently that Steve has passed away (tbh I just found this channel a few weeks ago) and I am so very sorry to all of his family, friends, loved ones and to you - Sheila.
One thing I love about watching his videos is how he talks to and about you - Sheila, I know he loves you so very much, I can hear it in his voice. My heart breaks for all of you 😢
Your so welcome!
@@CookingwithShotgunRed Did you use Peanut oil?
Thank u so much Steve a and Sheila
@@glennyates2194 I was wondering that too. Ever since I made these months ago my boys have asked me multiple times to make them again. So, I’d like to know the best oil to use.
*I feel so blessed knowing there’s people out there showing their ways of cooking, now I have hope to make better dishes for my family whenever I have the chance to. Thank you, ShotGun Red🙏*
When I pressed play and barely understood a single word of the intro, I knew I was in the right place.
Yes you were in the right place! LOL! Keep watching!
Yeah,that was crazy . I was hooked 🤛🏾
lmao thats me. as an Australian, i didn't understand the accent, tho throughout the vid it got easier. i love American accents
F a c t s
I had to go back and check lol
Finally...someone actually uses sugar in making McDonald's fried. I worked at one MANY years ago and knew they coated the fries with a sugar mixture and no one before now even thought of using it. I will definitely be trying this out soon. Thanks.
Thanks for watching!
The best fries I ever had in my life were in a restaurant I worked in as a teen. They peeled the potatoes, sliced them with a potato slicer, then let them sit in the refrigerator overnight uncovered. When they took them out the next day they were slightly brown. They were then deep-fried. The chef told me that when you let them sit and brown overnight it brings all the sugar to the surface. They were the best fries I ever ate in my life. I understand that Nathans used to do this with their fries years ago, before they processed them in a plant and froze them.
Bossmanrocks I also cut mountains of potatoes and set in large water bath bins over night in walk-in cooler. to be fried next day. those
Absolutely! i once did that by accident actually, i meant to fried them for dinner but i cant remember why i didnt, and end up fried them the next morning, omg! its the best!
Oooo yummy 😋
I've never heard of that
But yum yum sure sounds delish!
I’m definitely trying this, thank you
I thought about it and figured I’d add two things, try frying these fries in beef tallow, which is originally how McD’s did it way back or, if you’ve got a spare 30$ lying around, try duck fat
My sister just found this channel for me yesterday. My Mom recently passed away earlier this month (March 2021), so I've taken over the family cooking. My sister finds me recipes to add to my collection regularly too. This was one of them. RIP, good sir. This has really been a very sad month. I've subscribed to the channel as of now.
Sorry to hear about your mom. Your mom is the only one you ever knew before you were born. Hope we can help you out here with your cooking. Thank you so much for subscribing!!! When Steve passed away he had made 307 recipes for this channel!😊😋 shotgunred.com
This fella... we need more sincere, fun, warm people like him!
Thank you!😊
Not a cook podcaster, but Cam Buckner who narrates the Dixie Cryptid story telling podcast is a gentle soul and has the most positive comments from fans that I have ever seen…just like this guy. The good guys are still out there.
Isn't it nice to receive such wonderful comments over a video you posted nearly 3 years ago?!! They came out perfect by the way!!
We just turned the comment section back on so people can make a comment. :) Glad they did! :)
Did you make them? Was the taste close?
@@CookingwithShotgunRed Why did you turn them off to begin with?
@@InsanePorcupine must have something to do with the fact that he passed away in 2018 :(
Yes. Shotgun Red passed away, very sad.
"cause i don't waste nothing"
a man after my own heart 🥺
Hello "Shot Gun Red Grill Meister", I just made the McDonald's French Fries, literally right now and they are all gone. My Family LOVED them!!! Our house smelled like McDonald's French Fries, but they were SO DELICIOUS!!! There were a lot of steps to follow, BUT IT WAS SO WORTH IT. Thank you for the video in showing how to do this. I will definitely make this again. WOW!!! Thank you again!!!
Glad they turned out great! We love to know that the viewers are trying out these recipes! Thanks! :)
Good morning, I am making the McDonald's French Fries again today. Thanks again! Have a safe Memorial Day!
When he said "cause I dont waste nothing" i subscribed
Thanks for subscribing!!! :)
LOL!!!
“Let me move these off to the side and throw this water away” ... lol
@@scratch3406 everyone does
@@scratch3406 was thinking the same. Tea towels are aplenty in my kitchen. Still cool, I subscribed.
I worked at mikey D's back in the 70's. When you do the ice bath add the sugar then. Then you can skip the hot bath. No freezer, Everything else is spot on.
Would you agree that meat was of better quality back in the 70s in fast food restaurants? I read two people mentioning it. What is your opinion on this? :)
Sammay!!! Questions!!!
@@luckyshow98 Better meaning a higher fat content? You bet!
@@luckyshow98 It was the meat you buy now in the store, today most places use a soy/beef combo.
@luckyshow98 Yes, All Meat was better quality back in the 80s, 70s, 60s, and before that!
And McDonald's and most refused Healthy BEEF TALLOW to fry in and that's why they tasted soooo good.
Now they use disgusting unhealthy oils and artificial chemicals
Missing this guy. I enjoyed his recipes and I'm glad we can still have them.
You and me both.
What happen to him?
@@elsizzle2000 he passed away
@@etherealdreamer1 :( aw man. I literally just subscribed after watching 5 seconds of this video, because I was already sure he knew what he was talking about. I feel privileged to have learned something from him
RIP Shotgun Red, I love that these videos are still around for us to enjoy. Perfect quarantine fayre while Mc D’s is shut
He sounds like a documentary person when he says 'a McDonald's French Fries' 😂😂
I've been water-soaking and oil-blanching my fries for a while, that's definitely the way to go. Don't think I'd be dedicated enough to McD's to go the extra mile with the sweetened water soak. Beautiful work!
Thanks for sharing!
This is another great recipe from the master chef himself!! I made these fries tonight. I followed the instructions and they turned out PERFECT! I am amazed at how good they are. I actually made 7 potatoes instead of Steve's 4. I wanted extra. It made the equivelant of about 6 or 7 large fries from McD's. They cost around $5 each. I made 6 or 7 for about $6 total. Pretty good if you ask me.
And hey.... would it have been way easier and faster to simply go to my McDonalds and just go in the drive thru and buy 7 large fries? Well of course. But that takes all the fun out of it. I love cooking for my family. I'm always trying new recipes. It's a labor of love, that's for sure. We don't cook because we have to. We do it because we love to! Thank you so much for such a fantastic recipe. Will definitely continue making in the future. God Bless!❤
Glad you had a great time making this recipe! 👩🍳❤️👩🍳
Love your message and the way you describe that cooking for the ones you love comes from a place of love. Thank you for reminding me, I needed that!
I noticed you're still reading and hearting/replying to comments, even years later. I'm sorry to hear of Steve's passing, but even just from watching a few videos, I can tell he's the kind of guy I would have loved to have a conversation with and learn to cook from. I hope you are all doing well, and thank you for keeping this channel alive, even years later.
I appreciate that! Thanks!
🥺
When he says “Sheila” 🥺 at least she has these videos ❤️
So very sorry!!! THose look so awesome!! And you get to hear his voice again as you wish. That's usually the part most start to forget first.
Wow, that is just fantastic! Here I am, drunk across the Atlantic and watches this video. The youtube
algorithm once again gives something truly genuine. The one thing I love about this guy is how he takes care of his
ingredients and uses his knife with such care and control and not for a moment I'm concerned of him chopping of a finger or making a mess. True control, love that. This guy could be making tutorials of making grandiose dishes from all over the world but instead he makes tutorials of fast food "junk". But the energy and how he truly explains to the audience in what way he loves this type of food is captivating. Inspirational in a way. Follow this guy´s energy in the field that you love and you will probable come far. Maybe not to the top but really close to it. Damn, this really made this night worth it. Thank you.
Glad you came across this video! :)
I thought the sugar/syrup stage was a bit crazy, but decided on blanching the potatoes in boiling water with a teaspoon of golden syrup (partially inverted syrup) and a teaspoon of salt. They cooked for around three minutes, then I took them out. First fry for ten minutes at 150 celsius, then a final fry at 190 celsius until they were golden. Absolutely perfect. Not sure exactly what the sugar solution did, but they stayed crispy even after they had cooled down. Thanks for your advice and tips! I think I have cracked it thanks to your advice! Awesome, Shotgun Red! (such a cool name, I wonder what inspired that!).
This is my second video after subscribing and found out that he had passed. My heart goes out to you Shiela and family. Wish I knew him sooner to tell him how awesome he was. He will forever live on thru the rest of us and I’m excited to try new ways of cooking already! He sounds like he was an amazing, loving hearted soul.
Thank you so much Melissa!😊💗
@@CookingwithShotgunRed words can never be enough for him. God bless you all!!
Steve had such a great personality. A very down to earth kind of guy. Sometimes I watch videos I've already seen just to listen to him talk.
Tomorrow's "Shelter in Place" lunch project? Homemade Big Mac and fries! Thanks for this tutorial, your sweet soul shines bright in these times!
Your welcome! :)
Such a sweet soul! Reminds me so much of my best buddy Mike that passed away and was also a great cook!
This was the first cooking channel I subscribed to many moons ago. Because he made it look fun and easy. My cooking has come a long way since then, and I'm even starting to look a little like Steve, if you know what I mean. 😉 God Bless Steve and Sheila.
Thanks for subbing at a early time. Glad Steve could help with your cooking!😋👌
Absolutely love the enthusiasm radiating from the presenter. I know what will I cook for luch with my family tomorrow. Thanks for great video and fantastic way all that process was explained!
We made these last night. Substituted pure maple syrup since we didn’t have corn, and they still tasted like McDonald’s! You only tasted the maple flavor if you didn’t use ketchup, and it was actually really good still :) thanks for this!
Glad for the tip!
These look superb, got to try making them! So so sorry to read he passed away, looks the kinda guy who would be great fun to know and call a friend. Thanks for keeping the videos available for us to learn from.
You are so welcome! Yes he would have loved to talk over recipes with you! :)
Omg he passed away!! So sad he has a good personality and very friendly thank you for the videos R.i.p Shotgun
No! I did not know that. R.I.P.,old buddy. You sure helped me out a lot and added much to peoples lives. They'll be eating good up there now.
oh wow
Was it a heart attack per chance? Such a shame. rip
Man, I miss Steve so much and his great videos. So glad they are still up for us to enjoy and to learn from This is definitely one of my favorites!!
Glad you like them!
I have been making French fries for a long time and I watched this video and decided to try it out. I will say, you nailed it! These fries were exactly like you described. No ketchup needed. They are worth the effort. All I would suggest is that you deep fry them in lard. They were amazing. Thank you for the video.
You’re so welcome! 👍😃
First video I've seen of this guy and I already know I'm going like his cooking
Thanks James! :)

A couple of kitchen items you could use to make this go quicker: an adjustable mandolin slicer and a salad spinner. The slicer allows me to get the perfect thickness consistently and quickly. The salad spinner allows me to dry the potatoes quickly.
Great idea!
I use the salad spinner too. So easy.
you can also change the play settings of the video at 1.25 or 1.5 speed :-D
Why not use a hair dryer
Fascinating! Saving this recipe for the next time I make home fries.
Malcolm Gladwell did a nice piece on how McDonald's fries used to taste even better than they do now, when they fried them in beef tallow. Of course, the twist is that beef tallow was actually less harmful than the linoleic acid-filled vegetable oils they now use.
I just found this channel, your videos are AWESOME! VERY sad to hear Red passed. Thank you Miss Sheila for continuing to make videos ❤️
You are so welcome Ann!!!! Love that you are here!!!😋👍 shotgunred.com
Thumbs up if you came here full, and left here hungry.

Makes you want to dash in the kitchen!
And they are soaking in brine as we speak...
Came here hungry and left hungrier

You have an excellent clear speaking voice and explain the whole process perfectly. Kids are waiting for me to make them. Thank you.
Thanks so much 😊
I’ve already watched this video a dozen times but I keep coming back to it! He had such a relaxing and joyful personality, much like Bob Ross.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I tried the exact recipe and it's bloody amazing! God bless you sir!
Glad you liked it

Elizabeth Moon so how did yours turn out? Anything close? Thinking about trying this for myself and family!
I save it up for my "fry up later at night bowl"

Mcdonald's fries are amazing.
😔Sorry to hear he has passed !
@@pinkypromise111 omg for real ?
@@buddyduddyful do they taste like McDonald’s ??
Fantastic Red.Your recipe is👍👍👍
Chapeau🎩🎩🎩 I love it❤
If you had a mandolin slicer you could cut the 2nd step, rectangle ones perfect thickness (about 1/4+ inch). I like skin-on fries. Must try this recipe!
Who doesn’t like McDs fries from the old days? Really a treat like none other. Maybe someday I’ll get motivated to do this. ;)
I’m doing it now :)
I make a big batch at a time and freeze them after the first 2 minute blanch fry. It works out great.
Great video. The real trick though is to never throw out your oil. I've been using our family oil, passed down to me from my mother, who received it from her mother and so on. Several generations of fry fat in every batch gives 'em that depth of flavor you just can't get elsewhere.
True! :)
Your a success because you have the patience to explain things in a manner anyone can understand and hope to recreate. Thank you for being there.
Thanks for watching! Steve passed away Dec 29th 2018😢
I tried it with an airfryer! I did everything like you did it, except the frying part. It worked perfectly. At first I fried them in the airfryer for 10 minutes with 120°C. It makes them dryer and soft from the inside. After that I added a little oil and fried them again for about 7 minutes and 180°C. They are sooooo delicious and taste exactly like the Mc Donalds French fries! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Great job!
So glad you are keeping the channel going. I watch your new one's when you post them. And I like looking at the ones that Steve made. He will always be the man!
Awesome, thank you Donald! :)
They used to call small fries like this shoestring potatoes....McDonalds fries are the best for about 10 minutes after you get them, and then they degrade rapidly as they cool
I prefer steak and shake's shoestring fries. theyre still good even cold.
That's very odd... I have never in my life heard of anyone calling a fry as large as a Mcdonalds fry, a "shoestring" fry. I have only ever heard of fries about a quarter to maybe one-third of that size being called "shoestring" fries. Can you describe when and where people called fries as big as Mcdonald's fries "shoestring" fries... I'd like to look into that matter, and why it changed.
Air fry them.
It’s not the same, but at least they’re salvageable.
David Garza you're absolutely right I always reheat them that way or in the toaster oven. Works every time.
These fries are superb, I had to adjust the recipe slightly as we don't have corn syrup in the UK. My grandchildren live 40 miles from their nearest McDs so this is going to be a treat on my next visit once our lockdown is lifted. Thank you for sharing
Wonderful!
I remember seeing this video ages ago but I never got around to making these. I just found this again and made them and boy are they amazing! I was so heartbroken to hear the news about Steve. I remember when I first saw him I just instantly loved him, he seemed like such a perfect, sweet guy, who loved his wife so dearly. I’m terribly sorry for your loss.
Thanks so much for coming across these video’s. 👩🍳👩🍳. shotgunred.com
Amazing just finished eating them. I Don't know how I ended up here, but as we're in lockdown and I haven't had a takeaway for weeks I tried this, and I'm terrible in the kitchen. It works, they tasted just like the real thing, sent pictures of them before I ate them (obviously) to all my friends. Thanks a million :)
Hope you enjoy
Just Made this today and It tasted spot on. The Crunch and Taste where closely similar.
Great!!! :)
I watched and tour of these fries being prepped for shipment, and in the factory, I had to stop and replay the process. They had a part were sugar was added or dipped! The same process was done as in the video, but soaked in a sugar dip. Today they changed the "oil" and today has another taste. Good video.
Good to know!
Man I went from learning how to make mcds fries to learning about how much of a legendary puppeteer this guy was. RIP Steve :(

I searched the whole internet for a machine to make md fries and there ain’t one so glad I saw this vid
Glad you did too Justin and thanks for watching!!! :)
Justin, there is a machine for making Macdonald french fries is called a french fry cutter. If you put the potatoes through the largest cutter then cut them into quarters you will get Macdonald's size french fries. It'll speed up the cutting time and it'll give you a more consistent sized french fry.
Here is a machine. www.webstaurantstore.com/choice-1-4-french-fry-cutter/40747715.html

I live in Southern Idaho and we have THE BEST potatoes in the world- Burbank russets! I've tried other methods, some that do a water or ice bath, some that call for overnight soaking, and some calling for boiling, blanching, and 2nd frying. I like your method the best. Thank you!
Sounds great! Your welcome!
Just now saw this recipe and tried it. Came out amazing, better than McDonald’s. Thanks for sharing, RIP to a legend.

Couldn't agree more! Thanks for watching! 👍😊
I have tried many techniques and this one worked on cheap potatoes, The timing, brining in sugar switched off hot water ( which prevents the fries from being overcooked) This has upped my fries game

Absolutely a joy to watch, especially during this time where we are sheltering-at-home and need fun tastes like this to boost morale! Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it! :)
I'm sure these taste better than any fries I've ever got from McDonalds.
That's because McDonald's isn't real food. You don't wanna know what else they put in their food. That's going down the red pill road. I'm defiantly gonna make these fries. I haven't had McDonald's for years.
They did. Absolutely outstanding recipe. And I know exactly what’s going in.
@@JaejoongPrincess Actually, it is real food. And, their fries are the World's best, why do you think people try to copy them? :)
@@lanceanderson5826 Hear it for yourself. Don't stop there. Do more research into it. If you do, you're taking the red pill. Hear what's inside these Mc Donald's food and this is the main reason why I stopped eating it. Start at 39:18 mins. ruclips.net/video/U73SSvotDiQ/видео.html
Have you tried these ? Do they taste like McDonald’s ??
I hate when YT ads interrupt the video I'm watching.
This time it didn't really interrupt, came at the right time! 👌
That's good!
Also, before the 1990s mcdonald's used to fry their french fries in beef tallow, not oil.
I want to try this. I rarely buy anything at mcdonalds , except the fries
Shoestring french fries. The best way is to cut them by hand. I'm a cook by trade as well. Tuning in from Wilmington Delaware 2020.

In my local Publix Store, here in Florida, I found a bag of frozen thin French Fries that are the perfect thickness for this recipe. It saved me a lot of time.
That would be great! 😃
Hi Shiela, my 10 year old son and I are making these right now. We’re in the “freezer stage” and so excited to finish. My son loves McDonald’s fries above every other food on planet Earth. I’ll leave another post when we’re eating. Would have loved to shake Steve’s hand. God bless him.
Making great memories! 👍😃❤️
McDonald’s Fries 🍟 are good but they can’t be reheated. They just don’t taste the same as before. So you gotta eat them while they’re HOT 😄
I'm going to buy some McDonalds fries and reheat them in the Air Fryer we got recently. That should reheat them without making them soggy.
You can reheat in an air fryer.
when you order your fries tell them not to salt them, reheat and salt them at home . they taste better that way
Notsofast hmmmm sounds fishy
AGREED!
i researches how to make mcdonald’s fries back in the day, what he is telling you here is 100% correct
Thank you very much!!! :)
D-Nugget when I hauled food grade liquid tanker, I use to take corn syrup to where they are made. While it was in 09-10 and things can change, but back then they made mashed potatoes, added the corn syrup, salt, beef stock, and a few other things, formed them in to potatoe shapes and froze them. The flash fried them, cooled, froze and then bagged them.
Also, the fries were blanched and quick frozen.
I like this guy,I like his patience and passion.
I became a fan at 2:16 in the video when he said these little guy go in the fry-em up later bowl "cause I don't waste nothing"😂😂
Amazing technique and video! I will be using your technique! This last week, I decided to try to make fries on my own and I instinctively cut the fries small like you did. The first time, made them crispy and the second go they came out absolutely perfect. There is something about homemade fries!!!! After making them from home, I can now get my fix by cooking a batch at home!
Sounds great!
How did it turn out?
I've always wanted to try the US McDonalds fries, in the UK they don't go through all that sugar soaking process as far as I'm aware, it's just chopped and fried potatoes.
Thank you for sharing and I loved your lil drum solo!!😄👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🙂

Thank you for continuing to watch his videos. He would have appreciated it.👍😊
After washing of the starch place the "fries" in a salad spinner to get as much water off the surface of the fries as possible.
Do the same for chips.
Great tip! :)

Thank you for sharing! I got blessed twice. I was only looking to purchase a french fry cutter because my son loves McDonalds french fries. Wow! You showed me everything that I need to do Thank you. So, instead of purchasing a french fry cutter, I'll purchase a quality fryer.
You’re so welcome! Unfortunately Steve passed away December 29th 2018
Hello. I will be spending 2 hours to make three potatoes, no way. I've decided to make a lot more and freeze them for different days. Thanks for a great video, very entertaining and informative. You can feel the love for cooking from this guy. THANKS!!!!!!
Sounds great Eddie! Your welcome!
Awesome! Also, then best part of these home made ones is, it's done in fresh oil, so these are probably much better.
This is so very wholesome. I enjoy his engagement and advice throughout the video :)
yes
Don’t get me wrong I love simple fries just cut up and thrown in oil but this right up my alley! I don’t screw around when it comes to cooking, especially for special occasions.
Brilliant,perfect demonstration..I will follow it. Thank you for sharing lovely delicious.XXXX

I like the "fry-'em-up-later" bowl, big mama used to do that kinda stuff...

Cooking with Shotgun Red what a special legacy to leave, especially in these times of public hardship and strife. Are you a member of Steve’s family?
Great Job. I think the only thing that would make them even closer is to add beef broth or bouillon. There is definitely beef in their fries, so probably added when you do the sugar.
I believe they add beef tallow to the oil
@@Spacula1 The original McDonald's fries were made with beef tallow but due to concerns about cholesterol it was switched to beef flavor.
@@Spacula1 they used to but I heard they changed in part to accommodate vegetarians.
That PIC cookware device is an awesome tool. I have one still going strong even after over 7 years of use so far.
I am shook..... I have been looking for a McDonald's fries recipes for years and they never tasted like it and had to do all this extra stuff... this video is to the point with stuff u have on hands!!! Thanks so much it taste authentic...RIP and fly high
