Mcdonald’s Halloumi Fries Recipe
Everyone loves to make Fries at home whether it is a party, some family event, or anything else. So, today I will be sharing the recipe for one of the newly introduced fried from McDonald’s “Halloumi”. The step-by-step recipe of these Fries is given below.
- First of all, take a clean bowl and add some flour, salt, paprika, batter, and garlic powder. Mix these ingredients well with each other.
- Now, take a halloumi block and slice it into strips to create fries.
- Now, apply a coating of flour on these halloumi fries and make sure that the coating is distributed evenly.
- After that put the frying pan on the stove pour some vegetable oil in it and fry these halloumi sticks and fry them for 5-7 minutes. The frying pan may vary depending upon the heat of the stove or you can also fry them until they turn golden brown or crispy.
- Once the halloumi fries are cooked put them on a paper towel to drain excess oil.

Our Review
Today I went to McDonald’s here in London, United Kingdom to try their McSpicy burger. Once I ordered the burger I also ordered these fries as a starter. Within no time these Halloumi fries were delivered to my table.
I thought they were the same fries as their classical ones but I was completely wrong. When I took the first bite of these fries which are called “Halloumi” I was blown away by their crispiness. The combination of the batter along with Halloumi just felt amazing.
It was undoubtedly one of the best starters I have ever had before eating the actual meal. But, it is a limited-time item on the McDonald’s menu and will be discontinued after some time. I would highly recommend you try these fries before they are gone.
