Pencil me in!

Those rosemary garlic fries at Smashburger are probably going to have
some competition now.

I'll definitely try them too. Say what you will, but I still like
them better than In-n-Out's fries.

We diverge there, I like them ALL, but having said that I have a new
favorite - the shoestring fries from Freddy's Steakburger!

Oh so addictive!

http://freddysusa.com/category/favor...ites-amp-sides

I know they're not located near you, but if you see one in SoCal, stop in.

Their fries are thin, crispy, not too oily - really just a must-have.

Now I have Fry envy on MCDs new offering as you guys get them, not the
rest of us.

Neither one is pulverized and reconstructed. The problem (I think)
with In-n-Out is they are not double fried, so the texture is wrong.

That's the preferred method - blanch, then re-fry.

So how do they get all those different flavours? Is it like flour, dusted
over them before they are fried?

Nonsense! Frozen fries are extruded because fresh potatoes don't
freeze well, not even partially fried... ALL the frozen fries at the
stupidmarket are extruded. Dehydrated potato buds/flakes are
partially reconstituted to make a dry mashed potato mixture and then
that's extruded to form the many configurations of fries. People have
been eating extruded fries for so long they wouldn't know a real fresh
cut fry. Some restaurants still serve real fries but pathetically
few. Nathan's Famous still serves fresh made fries, but only at their
Coney Island location, all their satillite stores sell extruded frozen
fries. You can still watch Nathan's Coney making real fries from
scratch.... it's a 24/7 operation, never stops and yet still has to
hustle to keep up with demand. Mc'Ds claims their fries are fresh
made but I can assure you they are not, my grands order them and I've
tried some, they are crappy extruded fries. It's easy to ascertain
they are extruded, there are only eight configurations/shapes, some
are broken... I don't know with what alibi they get away with their
Lyn' Ted claim.

The garlic rosemary fries at Smashburger are covered with minced garlic
and chopped rosemary.

They are every bit as good as they look:

Our signature fries are tossed in Italian olive oil, rosemary & garlic.

Ugh! My mother made french fries when I was a kid. One ingredient! Potatoes sliced just so! She had a french fry maker, it was cool! Worked great!

Salt and catsup after of course.

Oh, that won't open for me

> Our signature fries are tossed in Italian olive oil, rosemary & garlic.

I've never bought premade so you will have to indulge me here, is the
flavouring sprinkled on after they are fried? I suppose it must be or it
would come off in the oil

The only thing that is sprinkled on mine is salt and vinegar and husband
likes tomato ketchup.

Those sound good. Please try them soon and report back.
It's just a test in SF. If you folks buy lots maybe they will
sell in other areas of the country.

If I buy a 3D printer, could you email me a few of them?

I've always voted McD fries as the best.
Wendy's fries are a close second for me.

uhhh...no. What's in Belgium that I should know about?
I've only been to Mexico briefly.

French fries that don't taste like crap. I am stunned every time I see
someone posting that they like McDs fries.

I am stunned that you are stunned. McD's fries are VERY tasty. Didn't
you mention that you haven't been there in like 20 years though? How
would you know?

I've tried many restaurant fries, frozen fries from the grocery and
also homemade fries and restaurant fries made from fresh potatoes. So
many are good. McD fries may not be the best of the best but they are
up there and good too.

You have TIAD. Your taste buds are dead from old age and you have no
valid opinion of what tastes good or not. Your doctor doesn't even
allow you to eat fries.

Ps - I was channeling Sheldon with that last comment. Did I do good?

I agree. But if that's all you've had.....

But when I think of Belgium I think of pastries.

Alledgely, "French" fries originated in Belgium. Twice fried, if you
want to get technical about it.

The fries are about the only thing McDonald's does well, IMHO.

Smashburger is a chain restaurant, so their fries are cut fresh and then
sprinkled.

And they are really good.

Salt and vinegar are aces!

And here it is traditional to douse them with green chili and melted cheese.

The latter is fine as long as it is not that plastic-textured Velveeta
stuff.

Those $1.00 cheddar and onion hamburgers are really good. sf likes
them too. They are no longer on the menu here but they do still offer
them if you know about them and ask for them. Those are darn tasty. No
condiments required.

The McD hash browns are so tasty to me. Very greasy but good for the
taste buds. They used to sell them 2/$1.00 but I haven't been there in
a long time so I don't know if that price is still right.

That's a plan. Just add tons more pepper to the fries and I'm in.

I like fries two ways. Ophy's method of malt vinegar and salt.
Or my way...plenty of salt and 10x the pepper.
I seriously like to blacken fries with pepper.

I rarely add ketchup. Would you put that on mashed potatoes?

It's a regional constant.

And it's really tasty.

I never tried those burgers. One other thing about McD's is this:
since I eat my burgers plain (hold everything, no pickles, no
condiments, sometimes cheese) they always had to cook them to order.
They couldn't just grab a pre-made burger that had been sitting under a
heat lamp.

That you can do, and why not!

But it is a drive, DC or Raleigh are the only ones close to you.

Me too, especially nice big sea salt flakes.

I can go with that, and I hope you like green peppercorns.

Not from France as the traditional accompaniment to Chateaubriand?

They're good. Give one a try. No condiments...just onions and
cheddar. YUM
