Made from high quality potatoes and prepared in a proprietary canola-blend cooking oil, McDonald’s French Fries are prepared with quality ingredients and crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.

The “You Want McDonald’s Fries With That” Contest and Weekly Drawing celebrates the amazingly-wonderful aspects of McDonald’s Fries and the moments made better with a side of French Fries, says the company.

“From graduations to weddings to vacations, McDonald’s Fries make the best occasions even better,” said Georgina Roy, director Customer Engagement & Alliances, McDonald’s.
