McDonalds French Fries

Instructions

1. Square off potatoes, cutting off both ends and squaring off all four sides. Potatoes must be cubed shape.
2. Cut off ¼” slices of the potato. Cut those slices into ¼” square french fries. The exact size of the fries must be ¼” x ¼”.
3. Soak cut fries in very cold water for 5 minutes, rinse and pat dry.
4. In a large pot (must have a lid) put 12 cups of water, ½ cup of corn syrup, and ½ cup of granulated sugar. Bring to a boil then take the pot off of the burner. Put in French fries, put on the lid, and allow to soak for 10 minutes. (Must be exactly 10 minutes!)
5. Remove French fries, place on paper towels, and pat dry. (At this point the fries for future use can be packaged and frozen.)
6. Place French fries in the freezer for 20 minutes.
7. Heat frying oil to exactly 350 degrees F. Use a thermometer to make sure the temperature is correct.
8. Take French fries out of the freezer, place in the fryer and cook for exactly 2 minutes. (Blanch only). Remove French fries from the fryer and allow to rest for 10 minutes.
9. Put French fries back into the fryer and fry for exactly 7 minutes.
10. Remove fries, place on paper towels, and salt to taste.
