My mom says that Mc Donald's french fries aren't made out of potatos so what are they made of?

Answer 1

there is a TINY amount of potatoes but they are mostly oil/fat, because they are deep fried. people claim that they are 'plastic' but this isnt really possible or how do we digest them!!??

Answer 2

I'm not sure what they're made of, if not really potatoes. But whatever their makeup, it seems to be immune to decomposition... I know this from experience. I've got 2 kids and we make our share of visits to the drive-thru at McD's, so I'll find fries that I know are more than a few weeks old laying around. I'll find them on the floor or dropped inside the seats, baking in the scorching summer heat for weeks, but when I find them they look exactly the same as the day they were almost eaten. Actually, they do look good enough to reheat and munch. Weird, huh?

Answer 3

Hmmm, make me wondering too, it does not tats like potato but very addictive. Must be the trans fat that covers the potatoes. You know trans fat can cause a lot of complication in your body as they don't dissolved easily.
Listen to your mom stop eating french fries unless is homemade. It is like cigarettes every country knows that it causes damage but they are still selling publicly. Millions have died from smoking related illness, one day french fries will kill you too.

They are made from potatoes. The show "Unwrapped" on the Food Network did a behind the scenes special on McDonald's and they showed how the french fries are made.

Answer 5

They're made out of potatoes. Ask for an ingredients list or nutrition information next time you're there. They can't lie about things like that because people have allergies and other food intolerances and must know what's in the foods they are eating.

Answer 6

They are made from your good old-fashioned genetically modified Mcstandard specification white potato! What makes them special is that they are fried twice, the first time for two minutes, then 'rested' before finshing at a higher temperature.

No milk added!
