How are McDonald's fries made?

Our French Fries are famous around the world for a reason. To make them the potatoes are washed, peeled and cut before being prepared, frozen and sent to stores. Once at the store they are cooked to order in a blend of sunflower and rapeseed oil and a sprinkle of salt is added. All of our fries are made from British potatoes and we use Pentland Dell, Shepody, Innovator, Russet Burbank and Ivory Russet potatoes. These varieties give the best flavour and have that lovely, long shape when cut. All of the farms which grow our potatoes are Red Tractor certified or equivalent.
