⬇️⬇️⬇️ RECIPE ⬇️⬇️⬇️
Start with 4 or 5 long potatoes
Cut of the ends and cut off the sides to make the potatoes
square but long. Cut the potato in slices about 1/8 inch thick
then lay those slices flat and cut strips the same thickness
so your fries are the same size as McDonald's.
Soak in cold water for 5 minutes then drain on a paper towel.
In a pot put enough water to cover the fries when laid out in
a big flat dish. Stir in corn syrup and sugar as the water comes
to a boil. I used 1/2 cup corn syrup and 1/2 cup white sugar for 12 cups of water. (adjust accordingly) Once the sugar is dissolved and
the water reaches a boil "turn off the heat" and drop in the fries.
Let them soak for 10 minutes then drain on paper towels.
Now place the fries in the freezer for 20 minutes.
Heat your oil to 350 degrees. (I used canola oil) drop in the fries
and deep fry them for 2 minutes only. Put then on a tray and let cool for 10 minutes. Drop them back in the oil for 7 minutes.
When they come out of the fryer lay the fries out and dust them with salt. Toss then a bit... and Enjoy!

sad to know it's almost 2 yrs that this guy passed away. I'm not surprised but still sad. This is my first time seeing his vid and u can tell he loves what he does. What a gentle soul. rip

Grew up in Idaho, worked at McD's.... I can promise you, this is not the McDonald's way, this is actually better.
-
Fills my heart with so much joy seeing that Shela is still liking every comment on this channel. May God bless you.
-
Just made these for my Granddaughter and her freind. They absolutely loved them. The legacy of Shotgun Red lives on 😊
-
My wife and I just made these fries last night, exactly according to your recipe, and they were honestly the best fries we've ever eaten. And now I just learned that shotgun red recently passed away, I was so sad but I will always thank you for the gift of this French fry recipe.

Love this Guy! My aunt Beth worked at a McDonald's in San Bernardino in the late 60's & early 70's and she stated back them they added "beef flavoring" when frying and what they cooked them in was actually "Lard" at that time....we tried her reflection of the past recipe a couple years ago and they were absolutely "Dynomite"! You may have to look a little harder to find lard nowadays, but it's readily available in the Mexican supermarkets or meat markets. It's also a lot healthier than these "fake fat" oils the FDA has put over on us over the years. We now only cook in lard and my cholesterol has went from well over 250 down to around 130-145, so don't believe the hype about the fake fats! Bon Appetite!

This fella... we need more sincere, fun, warm people like him!

"cause i don't waste nothing" a man after my own heart 🥺
-
When I pressed play and barely understood a single word of the intro, I knew I was in the right place.
-
Finally...someone actually uses sugar in making McDonald's fried. I worked at one MANY years ago and knew they coated the fries with a sugar mixture and no one before now even thought of using it. I will definitely be trying this out soon. Thanks.

Thank you Steve and Sheila for teaching me how to make McDonald’s fries!! I made them tonight and all my boys & husband LOVED them! Wow!!! We couldn’t believe how much they really tasted like McDonald’s fries 🍟 Thanks again! I just recently learned recently that Steve has passed away (tbh I just found this channel a few weeks ago) and I am so very sorry to all of his family, friends, loved ones and to you - Sheila. One thing I love about watching his videos is how he talks to and about you - Sheila, I know he loves you so very much, I can hear it in his voice. My heart breaks for all of you 😢
-
I feel so blessed knowing there’s people out there showing their ways of cooking, now I have hope to make better dishes for my family whenever I have the chance to. Thank you, ShotGun Red🙏

My sister just found this channel for me yesterday. My Mom recently passed away earlier this month (March 2021), so I've taken over the family cooking. My sister finds me recipes to add to my collection regularly too. This was one of them. RIP, good sir. This has really been a very sad month. I've subscribed to the channel as of now.

The best fries I ever had in my life were in a restaurant I worked in as a teen. They peeled the potatoes, sliced them with a potato slicer, then let them sit in the refrigerator overnight uncovered. When they took them out the next day they were slightly brown. They were then deep-fried. The chef told me that when you let them sit and brown overnight it brings all the sugar to the surface. They were the best fries I ever ate in my life. I understand that Nathans used to do this with their fries years ago, before they processed them in a plant and froze them.

Missing this guy. I enjoyed his recipes and I'm glad we can still have them.
-
Isn't it nice to receive such wonderful comments over a video you posted nearly 3 years ago?!! They came out perfect by the way!!
-
He sounds like a documentary person when he says 'a McDonald's French Fries' 😂😂
-

-
