McDonald’s worker shares trick to get fresh chips – and it isn’t by asking for ‘no salt’

AN EX-MCDONALD’S employee has lifted the lid on how to get fresh chips - and it’s not by asking for no salt.

Diners commonly ask their server for "no salt" on their fries in an attempt to get them made fresh.

However, this isn’t totally necessary.

Ex-crew member Dessy Joseph revealed asking for no salt means your food will take even longer to come. 

She offered an alternative way to get perfect and fresh fries - you just need to appeal to the good-hearted nature of the eatery’s staff.

Posting under @jodessy on Tik Tok, she said: "Asking for fries, no salt is just annoying. 

“Just say you want the fries dropped fresh.

“Nine times out of 10 the fries are already dropped fresh."

McDonald’s is said to get through 3.4 billion potatoes a year in the UK.

And before the little potato sticks make it to a restaurant, they are deep fried for one minute before being frozen for transportation.

They are then cooked a second time before being served up in-store. 

McDonald’s describes its fries as “fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside”.

According to the fast food chain: “Our fries are cut from whole potatoes. 

“That's why they're so delicious.”

People flocked to Dessy’s video to weigh in on the hack - with other McDonald’s employees backing up the claims. 

One said: “I worked at McDonald’s and these are all accurate.”

A second echoed: “I worked at McDonald’s and can confirm this is true.”

A fellow fast food chain employee penned: “I worked at Wendy’s and the no salt on the fries is so true, ugh.”

However, a passionate customer clapped back: “Don’t drown them in salt and we won’t ask for no salt.”

Other diners complained that they ask for no salt because they agreed that takeaways put too much on chips. 

One woman moaned: “I say no salt on the fries everywhere.

“Not only because I want them fresh though, people really do be putting too much salt .”
