I was a general manager at a Five Guys for several years. Cutting and prepping the potatoes is no joke. We would usually cut 4-6 bags in the morning and maybe some more before dinner
At our location we cycle the potatoes through the veggie wash usually 3-4 times until all starch is gone than we transfer into another sink where they will be constantly agitated through out the day! Great video!
You're thinking he removed the fries too early but if you notice there's a Time skip he wasn't going to sit there and have y'all sit through so many minutes of fries just tumbling in water
Glad to see you use Norkotah potatoes. A great potato for fries. It's a relatively new variety that's been genetically modified for yields and consistency.
I've bene to Five Guys before in Conroe. I've haven't been in a while, but I like the smeel of those burgers and at times I get extra fries for good luck.
I rarely go to five guys which I haven’t been there in so long but I do love it! My question is the why do you guys put so many fries in the bucket? When I got my food, there were so many fries and fries kept spilling out because they were overloaded! I do love your the fries, though! I just wonder why you guys put so many in the carton or whatever it’s called
I worked at Five Guys Berlin-Alexanderplatz and I washed the fries at least 2 times to remove all the starch. Probably there is to much in there.....(and not should be)
We didnt have that green thing and the scoop when i worked there. I could feel it when you put your hand in that cold water filled with fries. Ive cut so many bags of taters.
Yes fries are washed until the starch is gone and the water is clear. He should have filled the first wash sink up first so the fries were washing while he cut them to get rid of the starch. The way he did them he would have to fill up that second sink and drain the water until it's clear. If they are stored in water for too long they will start to become slimy and will be thrown away. On the other hand if they are left out of water for too long they will start to turn brown and then black after long enough.
Do all 5 guys rinse their fries like that? I swore I've been to a couple where they launch the fries from the cutter directly into the fryer… and it's awful. Always soggy and oily and burned tasting.
I might be wrong but this store has very less sale or he is capturing this video on low sales day; otherwise there is no way someone can work slowly in five guys!! Sometimes it is feel like hell on earth.
What camera do you use? I’ve been working at Five Guys for over a year and have always wanted to make POV videos but I don’t know what to use or if it’s even allowed.

Five Guys does it right. Simple products made right and made fresh. Love these videos. Keep 'em coming!
Ive never had properly cooked fries at five guys to the point I just stopped getting them.
Excellent video! I recommend to everyone!
@@jesseandfriends1That’s unfortunate! I feel bad for you.

Rinse those potatoes until the water is clear… get rid of all that starch
Well ya'll were doing it all wrong....you need to wash every potato by hand....that means scrubbing each potato by hand.
@@texasforever5776 go for it, have fun, enjoy.
@@michaeldaniel73 please don't cook.....it's probably why you're getting sick all the time.
@@texasforever5776 nah… I’m healthy as can be. Thanks for your concern, Tex.
He’s back! These videos are actually really enjoyable to watch.
Speaking as a former Five Guys employee, he's removing the fries too early, he's not let the starch get washed out
He cut the video
FACTS

I work at five guys. Sometimes I have to cut like 6 bags of fries just for the morning shift. I still love the fresh fries and burgers
You're thinking he removed the fries too early but if you notice there's a Time skip he wasn't going to sit there and have y'all sit through so many minutes of fries just tumbling in water
This makes me hungry even though my lunch is cooking 😂
Mmm love Five Guys French Fries! 😋 Love your content, Dan! Keep it up! 😚💛✨
It wasn't anything tbh
I could watch a live stream of this all day. Keep it up Dan!! As much as you can! ✌️💪
Not sure why you don't let the fries get spun around for a few minutes. That's very important.
I did, I cut the video.
@@FastFoodPOV2 my egg
He doesn’t get paid enough for that shit
Do you want to watch potatoes spin around for 5 minutes?
@@krispyair It's kind of a requirement for his job, so yeah. It has to be done.
Good to see you posting again!
Glad to see you use Norkotah potatoes. A great potato for fries. It's a relatively new variety that's been genetically modified for yields and consistency.
Yeah, looks as natural as a shoe sole
No fucking thank you to genetically modified anything
Welcome back I was worried when I saw all your videos gone GLAD YOUR BACK keep up the great work
2:34 Automatic potato cutting looks scary. imagine it pressing your hand into the blades!
nice video man glad to see you posting again as always love your attention to detail
Must let the fries rottate for at least 5 minutes. i was like wtf u doing
Makes totally sense to me to wash hands before handling the dirty potato bag.
Dear Lord I am so thankful my employer paid for us to have a automatic fry cutting machine... Do yall use a fry whitener for the bath?
I've bene to Five Guys before in Conroe. I've haven't been in a while, but I like the smeel of those burgers and at times I get extra fries for good luck.
Dual blasting the potatoes nice!
Love Five Guys!
Proof that the fries can be made fresh and actually taste good. Fuck In-n-Out
BURGER CHAD IS BACK !!!!
Wooo 🥳 more cooking 🧑🍳
That’s a lot of potatoes!!!
Always love Five Guys
the machine at 1:42 looks like some kind of dwarven invention
Cutting the potatoes is my favourite part so far. Fries suck!
This really brings me back to my time working there. Until I quit due to the boss being an insufferable asshole
when milkshakes
Brings me good memories of working at Five Guys doing the same thing lol.😆
I can see myself getting lost in the zone just from doing it.
Wtf machine is that? It spins the gah damn fries in water? Nice
Clean ur hands super good, won’t touch sink nozzle, just to touch a big bag of potatoes that has been touched by a hundred hands
I rarely go to five guys which I haven’t been there in so long but I do love it! My question is the why do you guys put so many fries in the bucket?

why is the water bubbly? is that soap?
Hahahahahah
Good he's washing the peter beaters..... getting the first in potatos good... I want to try these fries now I'm hungry
So you all slaughter the cow right in the restaurant to make sure the beef is fresh?
I worked at Five Guys Berlin-Alexanderplatz and I washed the fries at least 2 times to remove all the starch. Probably there is to much in there.....(and not should be)
i work at five guys and y’all’s store looks way differenr
We didnt have that green thing and the scoop when i worked there. I could feel it when you put your hand in that cold water filled with fries. Ive cut so many bags of taters.
I used to work at five guys so any questions feel free to ask!
What is that wash machine thing in the sink? I’ve been googling for an hour😂
How long do you let the potato in the water to remove the starch?
Holy shit I did this on my first day of training. Thanks for the reminder.
damn wish we had a potato washing machine at our location... we have to wash them by hand with a big paddle 💀
Love five guys
after you prep the fries, how are they stored before being fried? don't fries need to be stored in water to prevent browning?
Yes fries are washed until the starch is gone and the water is clear. He should have filled the first wash sink up first so the fries were washing while he cut them to get rid of the starch. The way he did them he would have to fill up that second sink and drain the water until it's clear. If they are stored in water for too long they will start to become slimy and will be thrown away.

Can you make a video on milkshakes

sounds like In-N-Out
I am honestly waiting for an accident to happen on that potato slicing machine
You gotta get in between your fingers more while washing your hands
I could sit and watch this all day!
Really? You must not have a lot going on in your life.
@@pp3k3jamail I said I COULD not that I HAVE. Difference. Besides. I think I posted this when I was steamin' as canny remember watching this 🤔
When doing it the feeling is just what u think it is. It doesn't take all day maybe 1 hour to do 5 bags of 50 pound each .
I might be wrong but this store has very less sale or he is capturing this video on low sales day; otherwise there is no way someone can work slowly in five guys!! Sometimes it is feel like hell on earth.
What happens after you throw them in the sink at the end? Do they just dry and are ready?
Yep that’s exactly what they do they then get put into 5 gallon buckets and brought front be used for the day !!
@@xboxgameclips6812 No. They soak in water until they're almost ready to be used. Then they're put into buckets to bring to the line.
is the water normal cold water or its colder than usual?
Tell me, how does the excessive heart stopping saturated fats attach itself to the potato chip?
mother of god why aren't you wearing gloves....don't you know that the bacteria on your hands can survive being fried in oil?!?!?! 🤣
Why so much time washing the outside of the potatoes? I never wash my potatoes. 😊
I only saw how they are washed and cut...
Seems inefficient to move the potato past the bin to the chopper. Should be oriented in a different direction for faster reloading
I'm I the only one thinking why the potatoes weren't skinned??

Best Place Ever!
is there a safety mechanism on that potato cutter? or do you just have to be fast that day
Those needed rinsed for much longer.
Why you didnt pick up the rest of the french fries from the washer?
Is the water bath hot or cold water?
That's not how you properly wash potatoes......but hey I guess I'm just old fashioned lol.
I edited the video they were in there for a while.
@@FastFoodPOV2 you need to wash and scrub every potato one by one....spraying it with water is not going to clean it properly.
@@texasforever5776 that’s feasible when it’s just you making fries for yourself… not at the scale in the video.

Best Fry's
They look good but the idea of using a dish sink to wash the potatoes 🤢🤢🤢
Can i ask for cheese fries or is that a no?

that is probably the worst attempt at cleaning potatoes
1:54 play it at 2x!
More like how Five Guy's fries are washed?
As a shift leader I'm the only one who cuts potatoes... smh everyone else says the bags are too heavy or they are prepping other things
Cutting the potatoes is the best part about working there
Does a 50 LB bag last whole day?
A 50lb bag might only last an hour or less depending on how busy the store is.
We cut 6-12 bags for the day depending on how busy it's going to be
Is that soap in the wash?
Following to see if anyone else knows the answer to this
No, it’s the starch from the potatoes rising to the top
@@FastFoodPOV2 I was leaning towards that but didn't know if there some some food approved detergent or something. Thanks.
@@FastFoodPOV2 oh that makes sense. Thanks for the reply.
scullery d.washed
My gm would've fired you for this
The potatoes should be on same side of cutter so you don't have to reach all the way over.
Thatll be $10 for the large
That is not fgu way
how they are made...lol...this video should've been called how five guys fries are cleaned
detergent
i'm so gifh
fries + dirt
0:34
Plz do donuts plz
Plz please
The Fuck .
that looks very tiring
Five Guys, way overpriced for average food
You didn't scrub your hands with soap for at least 20 seconds and you didn't include your wrists. Glad I didn't inspect you
Yuck
Ewwww you never wear gloves?
Not when cutting the potatoes because they’re washed afterwards
Gloves are only required in restaurants for prepping RTE or ready to eat foods like lettuce that don't get cooked before serving. The fries are cooked in 345 degree peanut oil before serving and gloves are required while doing the cooking.
@@FastFoodPOV2 has nothing to do with washing them and everything to do with the fact that they are cooked before serving.
no need for gloves, the fries will be cooked in a deep fryer at 325 to 375 degrees afterwards, so there's no risk of a customer getting sick
Their fries are so overrated. The only thing good is the seasoning. Not the soggy ass not even crispy fry
Skin on fries and mud 🤢🤮🤮
Fries from a sink.
