The secret to McDonald’s world-famous fries

The secret to McDonald’s world-famous fries

Ever wonder why McDonald’s fries always taste delicious? The epic French fries that are crispy and golden on the outside and fluffy on the inside have been served to customers across the Gulf since the 1990s and have always maintained the highest standards, here is why. 
It all starts with the potatoes. They are high-quality 100 percent natural and non-GMO potatoes. All potatoes must meet a set of high standards related to size, shape, variety, color, and storability. 
McDonald’s restaurants are quite strict about the type of potatoes they use since serving delicious, quality food has always been the chain’s top priority. Sourced from trusted and approved suppliers, these potatoes get peeled, cut, and blanched before being frozen and shipped to the restaurants, where they are prepared into the hot, crispy fries you know and love.
McDonald’s potato suppliers are experts and adhere to the chain’s stringent halal food quality and safety standards. All the suppliers use state-of-the art technology and quality controls to identify ideal potatoes. 
Then inside the restaurants, there are specific standards deployed to ensure the quality and consistency of the French fries. The process McDonald’s uses to cook the fries in-restaurant is very well defined — everything from the cooking time to the amount of salt is carefully measured, so they always taste hot and delicious.
The potatoes, which do not contain any animal derivatives, are cooked using a 100 percent vegetarian canola-sunflower oil blend, served with a mere pinch of salt before being delivered to the customers. 
Secret? There is no secret, only high-quality potatoes that are planted and grown specifically for McDonald’s and uniformly cut for you to always enjoy.
