Fast food lovers often find themselves in a dilemma - the burger is delicious, but what about the fries? Well, there are some chains that don't take fries lightly. They go the extra mile to serve fresh, hand-cut potatoes that are a cut above the rest. Let's explore six such chains.

Uncover the Fast-Food Chains with Irresistible Fries

1. In-N-Out

California's In-N-Out is a beloved burger joint that prides itself on freshness. No freezers or microwaves here - the most advanced gadget is the potato slicer. In-N-Out hand-cuts its spuds in-house and fries them in 100% sunflower oil right before your eyes. While some may criticize the fries as "garbage" and the worst on the menu, regulars swear by them. Ordering them well-done and Animal Style, with melted cheese, grilled onions, and their iconic secret sauce, can turn them into a delicious treat.Another tip is to order the fries "well done" to achieve a more desirable crispness. It's not just about the taste but also the experience of watching the fries being prepared fresh.

2. Mooyah

Mooyah, a Texas-born burger chain, is committed to impressing with its fries. Using 100% Idaho potatoes, they cut them in-house daily and put them through a "24-hour six-step process" that combines science and fry meditation. The fries come out crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and are simply impossible to stop eating. Each step in the process is carefully executed to ensure the perfect texture and flavor.

3. Elevation Burger

Elevation Burger takes a healthier approach to fries. Instead of using traditional frying methods, they serve gluten-free fries cooked in heart-healthy olive oil. This makes them a great option for those who are health-conscious but still want to enjoy a delicious fry. The fries have a unique flavor and texture that sets them apart from other chains.

4. Five Guys

Five Guys is known for its polarizing fries. Some swear by their boardwalk-style spuds, while others dismiss them as an oversized, soggy mess. But the chain takes its fry process seriously. They primarily use premium Idaho potatoes, except during the two months when they are out of season and turn a little too soft. During this time, they switch to "gap potatoes" from Washington to maintain quality.Each potato is hand-cut and power-washed to remove excess starch, ensuring a non-gummy texture. The fries are then double-fried in nonhydrogenated peanut oil, which gives them a subtle buttery flavor. The first fry cooks them through, followed by a 15-minute rest. The second fry delivers that perfect crispy-on-the-outside, fluffy-on-the-inside texture.

5. Hopdoddy Burger Bar

Since 2010, Hopdoddy Burger Bar has been on a mission to elevate the burger bar. And they do the same with their fries. Made from Chipperbec Potatoes grown by sixth-generation potato farmers specifically for chips and French fries, the fries are fresh and delicious. New batches are hand-cut every day.Last year, the chain scored extra points with health enthusiasts when it announced it was ditching seed oil in favor of cooking oil from the eco-friendly Zero Acre Farms. They also offer a variety of flavor options, ranging from truffle oil and Parmesan fries to old-school "stick-to-your-ribs" flavors like nacho cheese.

6. BurgerFi

As a relatively small and new chain, BurgerFi is getting a lot of praise for its fries. Using "fresh cut from real spuds" - Russet potatoes cooked in peanut oil, they offer a variety of flavors. The "Urban Style" fries, with Parmesan, herbs, and truffle aioli, are one of the most favored.The fries are cooked to perfection, with a crispy exterior and a fluffy interior. They complement the burgers perfectly and add an extra dimension to the dining experience.For more smart fast-food coverage and dining tips, please sign up for our free newsletters.
