Absolutely! At McDonalds in the late (long ago!) we'd use a spinning basket to peel a bunch of russets, then set them upright in a heavy iron slicer that with one press turned peeled potatoes into raw french fries. Then a soak, and sometimes they swam overnight!
Then we'd blanch 'em in lard (!) at 325, rest, then fry 'em again at 375. Just like you showed, and THAT is the way to make good french fries!
Wrong. It’s not that In-N-Out fries are fried only once. It’s that they’re still raw in the center. If you boil or steam your cut potatoes before frying then you can fry them only once and still have perfect fries. Frying twice also solves this problem since you’re giving the fries more cooking time, but the issue isn’t the outside of the fries or that they’re fried only once; the problem is just that they’re raw potatoes inside. Fix your vocal fry btw
If you eat in and out fries at the restaurant and not bring them back to your kitchen for however long they don’t look like that. They are only potatoes and no filler, they are amazing.
Complete BS! You can order your French Fries at In-N-Out to the 5 different levels of crispness, REGULAR, CRISPY, EXTRA CRISPY, WELL DONE and EXTRA WELL DONE. Additionally, you also can order it with toppings (not so secret menu style). They are meant to be eaten fresh, that's why they make them fresh. They cut real potatoes and fry them at the restaurant not from a factory somewhere and treated with Viagra to remain you know what for hours.
Fast food fries get soggy because they’re being put into a brown paper bag while they are steaming hot. This mean the condensation of the hot fries gets trapped within the bag, and that makes everything soggy. If you eat fast food fries directly in the restaurant, they are 10 times better. Sure the way they’re originally prepared still have an impact. But this is over exaggerated
Just order them “light well” and they will be crispier. You can also order them “light” if you like them softer, or “well” if you like them completely crispy (like the little ones sometimes get) but I like mine just a little crispier than they normally fry them, so I ask for them done light-well (pretty much the equivalent of what would be medium well for a steak)

Nailed it again, Kelly! I would eat your French Fries over In-N-Out's fries any day and twice on Sunday! 😋❤️🍟

There is no escape you will par cook no matter what.
I worked at a diner that fresh cut their fries. I really thought they were the best

I’ve never had In-N-Out fries but going off of your description I like them already.
You got old fries. They aren’t like that fresh.
I get my in and out fries “light well done” or “well done” and eat it there. Crispy and way better
Just order them well done. 👍🏻 it is the best
I like in n out fries
I love In-N-Out fries. Definitely my favorite fast food fry if you can count it as fast food
As long as it's seasoned right I can say it's good although a firm fry is better

OK, now go and order the fries well done, animal style, with chopped chilis and ask for an extra packet of spread. I'll wait here.
Well done fries can be as crispy as chips stop lying to people
I like their fries a lot!
Pro tip for In N Out: order your fries well done with melted cheese on top – it's the first thing I'm gonna have once I'm done with keto lol – so good
They are so gross. EAST COAST FRIES FOR LIFE
In South Africa you get both crispy and "slap" chips. Many people enjoy the single cooked method.

That process increases the carbohydrates content of the fries

Geez, just ask for them light-well or well done. Easy peasy!
Haters gonna hate, in n out fries are bomb
Fast food places (and most restaurants) do not fry their fries twice. Only Belgian Frittes places do the double fry method.
Their burgers make up for it! ….shoot now I’m headed to In n Out!
Order them "WELL DONE" and they're crispy AF. You can also order Animal Fries well done.
This video may have backfired on you a touch. In-N-Out fries are freaking bomb. Only fast food fries I'll eat because they are so fresh and simple
IAO has sold a few more fries than you😅
I,still prefer their,fries,to,McDonald’s.
Eat them first, when they're hot. They're better that way.
Ill agree theyre definitely not the best, but In and Out fries are still pretty good.
This is total BS
Nah, in-n-out fries are the best. Less seed oils than other places.
