I’m retired and help a friend out with his potato harvest every fall and his potatoes are contracted to McCains that provide most of the fried potatoes for many fast food places and that harvester is over a million dollars new and the teleporter or bin piler storing the potatoes in the potato house isn’t cheap either. The harvester must have been working in Alberta or Idaho because the soil was so rich and rock free , unlike the soil here in the maritimes. Good video I enjoyed watching the factory process.
They're washed in chlorine? I can't believe that. Just wash them in water, and the boiling them will then kill off any remaining germs or bacteria. But not chlorine.
In the late sixties( I'm 71 now 🥲)as a teen, my first job was on fries at McDonalds in London Canada. I would take whole spuds, put them in a peeler machine, when done, take them, spear them with a giant fork, place on a cutting grate, pull a giant lever down to slice them. Next procedure was to blanch the fresh cut fries, ready to be fried fully for service. It was hard work but that's how we did fries back then. Oh how times have changed.
McDonald's in those days NEVER gave raises. They would fire employees to hire newbies at minimum. I got fired 6 months into my job for being 2 minutes late. Yes franchise owners but especially Ray Kroc were so greedy and just didn't give a crap. Again not much has changed. The only reason I would order something from McPigs is if I were constipated. Great laxative
02:48 These potatoes look perfect for making McDonald’s fries! It’s fascinating to see how they’re selected and prepared for such an iconic snack. The uniform size and quality of the potatoes make them ideal for achieving that crispy, golden texture we all love. I can already imagine the delicious fries they’ll turn into!
*Wow, this is a masterclass in modern food production! The attention to detail, from the specific choice of Russet Burbank potatoes to the high-speed water knives cutting the fries, showcases the incredible level of sophistication in McDonald's processing. It's not just about making fries; it's about perfecting every step to ensure the highest quality. The sheer scale and efficiency are awe-inspiring. This video makes me appreciate every golden fry even more!*
What McDonald’s does with the first boil is called « blanchir la pomme de terre » in French or « blanch/parboil the potato ». It is indeed a very good technique to keep the inside soft and get a crispy skin when you fry them. You can blanch and fry all vegetables, you will get delicious results.
It's amazing to see potato chips being mass produced! The advanced machinery and efficiency in the process is impressive. Great insight into how a beloved butter is made!
Near where I live the guy sells fries made from pealed potatoes, stored in water and then fried in sunflower oil. No chemicals, well, apart from the herbicides, pesticides, insecticides, soil bactericides, growth enhancement chemicals and not forgetting the heavy metal contaminants. You just can’t win. 😢
What a fascinating look into the McDonald's French fry processing! I really appreciate how thoroughly you explained modern tech in action. however, I gotta say, as much as I love their fries, it's kinda concerning how much oil and preservatives go into them. Do you think we’re sacrificing health for convenience?

great video, really fascinating to see how they process fries on such a massive scale. but honestly, i've always wondered if the quality of the potatoes suffers when you’re handling them in such large quantities. do you think they still taste as good?

These potatoes are chosen for the length of it. They also have gmo. GMO makes it so your body is resistant to certain antibiotics. These potatoes from McDonald’s are also sprayed with a highly toxic pesticide called Monitor. 😅 yay McDonald’s. I’m lovin’ it! 😂😂😂
@@alvexok5523 The potato is also GMO grown with glysophate. It's of course garbage in the US. Other countries have more strict quality control of food.
Pesticides??? WTF are you talking about? Pesticides are chemicals applied to crops in the field to protect them from being destroyed by insects and other things. How would adding pesticides to the fries at the factory make them 'taste so good', as you claim?
@@RMagicS The pesticides are not added to the fries in the factory... they're used in the crops during the growing process. McDonald's don't deny using them, and they have been caught using potentially dangerous ones like methamidophos until they were banned by law, since eating products grown with the use of pesticides can cause cancer and other diseases.
"taken by the belts for special treatment." I think McD's uses irradiation at some point in the process to prevent spoilage. Is this correct? Also, noticed the flag at 6:00. Where is this factory located?
Nope the video doesn't mention where the farm they got the potatoes from nor did it mention which production facility it was, the flag doesn't really give an indication of location plus the US facilities heavily differ from the EU ones in that we DON'T use excessive chemicals that play no actual benefit to the food i.e US fries have a chemical used to make the fries brighter EU ones don't use it because it DOESN'T need to be there...

Great video people. Did you see that giant burb of french fries come out of the machine at the end? Thats the portion size they want you to eat... massive wad of chemical sugar fries 😂
It is good to boil raw potatoes just cut into fries before frying them. I've made my own fries from whole potatoes at home before and after cut into fries I do boil them before frying them in oil. It helps ensure the crispy outside and very soft inside which definitely improves taste. I previously tried putting cut potatoes in oil while still raw and when they've become crisp on the outside, which also isn't done as well when they were put in still raw, the middle wasn't soft enough and even still a bit raw in spots in the middle. Definitely boil cut potatoes soft before frying them, whether they're cut into fries, wedges, cubes, or whichever shape
Basically, they removed humans from the equation to reduce the cost of making fries while keeping the price same as before for consumers. This doesn't pass any benefit to consumers, reduces employment and makes the rich owner much much richer. Can someone critique me on this?
Reminds me of why In-n-out fries suck so much. They are fried after being freshly cut. Sounds good but it isn't. However, you don't need all these chemicals (McDonalds) to make good fries. The critical step is the par-boiling or blanching of the potatoes before they are fried. If you fry the fresh potato like In-n-out you have to overcook them to get them done in the middle. The other (best) option is to triple fry them but no fast food joint is going to do that.
Btw is this the real McDonald's factory? Last documentary about their fries i saw was potatoes getting completely mashed, filler added and reshaped to fries.
If you say McDonald’s fries are uniform, then they are all WAY TOO SHORT! Every batch of fries have the “little boys!” Gone are the days when this outfit sold quality meals.
