Recipe: re: Burger King Satisfies / McCain WiseFries

These fries cannot be duplicated at home. They are produced by McCain: http://www.mccainusa.com/McCainFoodService/Brands/WiseFries/default.aspx. They are characterized by reduced oil absorption during frying, reducing the fat and calorie content. This is accomplished through the specific way the potatoes are prepared and processed pre-coating, batter used (which creates an oil repellant edible film) and its ingredients, manner in which fries are coated with these ingredients and further prepped before packaging. This is likely patented (see: similar patents: http://www.google.com/patents/US20100310712, https://www.google.com/patents/US20040121046), but certainly proprietary, and using ingredients and equipment home cooks cannot access.

This is the list of ingredients:
Potatoes, vegetable oil (contains one or more of the following oils: canola, soybean, cottonseed, sunflower, corn), tapioca starch-modifies, contains 2% or less of corn starch-modified, paprika extract (color), rice flour, salt, sodium acid pyrophosphate (to maintain natural color), turmeric extract (color), xantham gum.
What that list does not tell you about is how the potatoes are of particular cultivars, likely blanched using specific methods (using specific temperatures, lengths of time, additives in the water), treated with enzymes, and sequence of preparation.

Luckily, if you have some determination, you can do your best to mimic the industry: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/820445
