Here’s what the TikToker Maez video doesn’t tell you. If you order Five Guy’s French fries in the US, your potato is likely coming from Idaho. As of 2016, the burger chain was ordering 140 million pounds of potatoes annually from the state, according to Food Republic. Also, unlike other fast food chains that pour dehydrated potatoes into hot oil, Five Guy’s prepares fries from fresh potatoes. All those potato sacks at your local Five Guy’s restaurant? These are not (shocking) decoys. Maez’s TikTok video is proof. Check it out and indulge in how Maez Five Guys cooks fries for deep frying. This includes rinsing the potatoes, slicing them with a hand-operated slicer and then washing them. Notice how Maez puts her hand in the pressure washer. No, it’s not hot oil as some TikTokers thought it was. But yeah – it looks really, really impressive. Here’s what Maez won’t reveal. The Power Wash is the key to taste and texture. “You have to blanch the fries to rinse the starch off of them or the outside will burn before the inside cooks,” Chad Murrell told Food Republic.
As mentioned earlier, Maez ‘Five Guy’s french fries reveal has 3.9 million views and the number is still growing. Because – who doesn’t want to order Five Guys French fries now? “The only restaurant I trust, and that’s why,” wrote one impressed observer. “Right now, I’m comfortable paying all that money [for fries]“Wrote another.
