My sister Worked at McDonald's and Showed Me This Air Fryer Fries Trick!

My sister worked at McDonald’s for eight years, starting at the fry station, and she showed me why homemade fries turn soft and how to get that crisp outside and fluffy center at home. In this video, I use her method to make drive-through-style fries in an air fryer with about one tablespoon of oil. I’ll show you how the right potatoes, even cuts, a starch-removing soak, a vinegar, sugar, and salt bath, and a double-cooking method transform homemade fries. I’ll also share when to salt them, how to serve them while they’re still crisp, how to bring back that beef-fat flavor, how freezing helps, and how to make homemade steak fries. A few dollars of potatoes can make about six big portions, so this method can save money while making fries I actually want to eat.
