If you've ever wondered just what it takes to make those delicious fries from Five Guys that you've spent the last few years devouring, you're in luck. And of course, you can thank TikTok for giving you the knowledge that you probably didn't know you needed.
TikTok user and Five Guys worker @maezthegreat took to their account on Monday, August 9 to let followers in on the method used to create the iconic spuds. And I can almost guarantee you didn't see this coming.
Beginning the short clip by saying, "This is how we make y'all fries at Five Guys," the Shreveport, Louisiana worker made sure to mention that only real potatoes are used in the creation of the fries. First they wash the potatoes, then they put them in the slicer. "Bring them to the slicer. Put them in there," he said as he gave an example of how it works.
After the potatoes are cut into fry shape, they land directly into a power wash machine that helps to remove the starch and other impurities from the potatoes. Afterwards, the fries go into a bucket filled with water. And as the user then states "you put 'em in the fryer and let 'em cook."
If there's one thing you can always count on TikTok to do, it's teach you something you didn't know you needed to know. And for that, you have to be thankful it exists.
