Step 1
Wash and peel the potatoes and cut them into thin strips.

Add the potato strips to the hot oil and fry for 5-6 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

Remove the fries from the oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Sprinkle with salt while still hot.
Step 7
Serve hot and enjoy your homemade McDonald's fries!
