Many McDonald's fries are prepared in large batches and can sit out, becoming soggy and underseasoned. Ordering fries without salt prompts staff to cook a fresh batch. Asking for an extra medium-sized cup and salt packets allows dumping salt into the cup, adding the fry sleeve, and shaking so salt adheres to hot, greasy fries. The result is fresh, properly seasoned fries and a cup that fits car cupholders better than the sleeve. Additional flavor upgrades include pairing fries with honey packets for a sweet-salty combination or dipping fries into a milkshake for a creamy contrast.
McDonald's fries are a wonderful treat when prepared correctly (and even placed second in a Tasting Table ranking of fast food fries), but considering how many are made at once, they're often left sitting out for a while before being handed to the customer. Clever McDonald's fans figured out how to get extra crispy fries by ordering them without salt, which forces the staff to make them fresh.
After ordering the fries without salt, simply ask the employee handing you your food if you can also have an extra medium-sized cup and some salt packets. You can then dump the salt in the cup, add the sleeve of fries, and shake it around a bit. The freshly-made fries should still be hot and greasy enough for the salt to stick to them, meaning you now have fresh fries with a delicious layer of salt.
