McDonald's Frozen Fries Are 'Almost Identical' According to Former Chef

There's nothing quite like the first bite of a crispy, perfectly salted McDonald's fry.

Former McDonald's corporate chef Mike Haracz says all you need to duplicate Mickey D's fries is a bag of frozen fries that are "almost identical" to Mickey D's, the appropriate cooking method, and a secret ingredient.

Buy a bag of Walmart Great Value Thin Cut French Fried Potatoes first. Once you've sealed the bag, fry your McDonald's dupes.

I suggest deep-frying at 360–370 degrees for two minutes, although this depends on your fryer and ingredients.The previous chef advised working in tiny quantities until it achieves the desired color.

And, before you start frying, be sure to add some beef tallow (also known as rendered fat) to your oil.

Haracz advises two teaspoons of beef tallow for two cups of oil. To finish, salt your fresh-fried fries with Morton. Voila.
