How to Make McDonald's French Fries

Step-by-Step Guide

1. 1

   Step 1: Gather a batch of fries.

   This can be done by placing a fry basket underneath the fry hopper, or manually from the freezer.
   
   The fry hopper is a machine that dispenses the appropriate amount of fries automatically when you place the basket underneath.
   
   It can be adjusted for small, medium, or large shots.
   
   If done manually all you have to do is grab a bag from the freezer and fill the basket with as much as you need.
   
   If busy nearly to the top, if slow you can get away with doing about half or less.

   Step 2: Place the basket into the fryer.

   Ensuring it is on the fries option hit the start button.
   
   They will take about 3 minutes to deep fry., About halfway through the fryer will prompt you to 'duty' or lift the basket out of the fryer, give it a shake, and put it back.
   
   To make sure none clump or stick together.
   
   Hit the start button again to clear this message., When it beeps again tilt the basket upwards with the handle going over your shoulder, but not touching you, so most of the oil can drain back into the vats., Giving it another quick shake, dump it into a clear section of the warmer., Overturning the salt dispenser will give a single appropriate shot of salt., Using the fry scoop mix the salt into the fries., Using the fry scoop, dump fries inside until it's full.
   
   Make sure that the box/bag is stuffed, but all the fries are standing upright.
