First off, McDonalds and In & Out do NOT sell French fries--They sell shoe string fries, and shoe string fries are cooked differently than French fries. Second In & Out has terrible cooking oil which makes the fries taste like cardboard.

Second; Steak fries are NOT Steak fries at all. They are called CHIPS. How many times have you been served Fish and Chips and got shoe string fries instead?


Third; French Fries are 1/4" X 1/4" and they and CHIPS ( 1/4" X 1" ) are cooked differently than shoe string fries. The secret to making real French Fries is twofold. It must be the proper oil, and there must be TWO, NOT one fryer. The first fryer's oil is very very hot and the fry or the chip goes in for just about 5 seconds and this puts a crust on the potato. That crust will not allow oil from the cooking 2nd fryer to penetrate the potato ( it just cooks it from the out side ). First test; When the fries are done they should stand straight up like a hard on and not like someone who needs Viagra. Now the second test; When the standing fry is broken in half the inside is nice and fluffy and not mushy.


FYI; the French Fry was invented by the French speaking people of Belgium and they are the ones who perfected them with the TWO Fryer system.

If your favorite restaurant is not using two fryers they are not making real French fries.
