Former McDonald’s Corporate Chef Shares Secrets To Making Mickey D’s Food At Home
Year after year, McDonald’s fries rank among the best in the business. I can’t argue with that. Surely, there must be some top secret formula that makes them so much better than any other fast food fries out there. Maybe not, according to a former McDonald’s corporate chef.
According to Delish, Mike Haracz has revealed how to recreate the fast food giant’s world-renowned fries at home. The former McDonald’s corporate chef shared his copycat hack on TikTok. Basically, go to Walmart. Haracz says that Great Value Thin Cut French Fried Potatoes from Walmart are nearly identical to McDonald’s fries. He says that to make the iconic fries at home, you’ll want to:
- Deep fry them at 360-370 degrees Fahrenheit for about two minutes in small batches.
- Add about a tablespoon of beef tallow per cup of your frying oil.
- Season the fries with regular Morton salt immediately after frying. That’s how McDonald’s does it!

Mike Haracz doesn’t stop there. He also found a dupe for McDonald’s breakfast sausage patty. Again, it’s at Walmart. The former McDonald’s corporate chef says pick up some Great Value pork breakfast sausage patties and you’ll think you’re at the Golden Arches. Haracz has said the same about Great Value Secret Sauce. He told People that it’s a lot like the sauce you get on a Big Mac.
Despite Haracz’s viral TikTok videos garnering nearly a million views, some of his followers are skeptical about replicating McDonald’s food at home, saying it’s simply be easier to just hit the Mickey D’s drive-thru.
