i love french fries, especially its crispiness, and the salty taste. oh i dip it with a gravy sauce, wooh not a ketchup, but the chicken gravy sauce! which among you here like the taste of it? with a gravy sauce i mean? ahmmm i love it 101% actually.
but i wonder why it's much tasty when bought from the store? than cook it yourself? just too different right? when i cook it, it's complete, olive oil, enough salt...just from the instructions, but still taste so different. unlike when bought from this giant snack house like McDonald, Jollibee, KFC, etc. etc. etc. it's so yummy...plus their gravy sauce too, so delicious. hmmm, does this mean am not a good chef? ohhh... hehehe
any thoughts how to cook good, tasty french fries? better from the one we bought in the snack-house? thanks for responding.

I like fries too. I do prefer them cooked at home though. I like to peel the potatoes and cut them in circles and add seasonings like Garlic, Pepper, Steak Seasoning, and A little salt and fry them to crispiness, then drain the access grease and whala fries!!

I think their products have secret seasonings in them that are not present in some other foods that can be bought at the supermarket. They have their own formula for their ketchup, gravy, and other sauces. It wouldn't have been competitive if it tastes just the same as the others.

Hi felliana, if we can make better fries than, say, McDonald's, do you think McDonald's can still survive today? They must have their special way of seasoning and cooking their fries. On the other hand, think of it this way. Your home-cooked fries may not be as tasty as the fries outside, but at least you get to eat fries that are much cheaper and probably healthier.

I just had this type of question in my mind. It may be the sauces and the masalas that they are using.
