- McDonald’s offers a Basket of Fries, the equivalent of two medium fries, in select cities nationwide.<\/li>\n
- The Basket is a shareable side that can offer a better value than a large fry, depending on location. <\/li>\n
- It’s not widely known as a menu item because it’s only available regionally. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\nThere are probably plenty of things you don’t know about McDonald’s\u2014like the fact that McNuggets come in four different shapes, or that the chain once sold peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. But while you’ve likely already clocked that the Coke tastes better there (it just does) and that there are plenty of secret menu hacks floating around online, here’s another little-known one: You can actually order a whole basket<\/em> of fries\u2014but there’s a catch. <\/p>\n
Delish<\/em> staff recently spotted the Basket of Fries on a menu board, but according to a McDonald\u2019s spokesperson, it\u2019s a regional item meant for sharing. Pricing varies by location and is set by individual franchisees. Still, when you can find it, it may be one of the better fry deals on the menu.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\nMcDonald’s<\/span><\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n According to a McDonald’s worker<\/a>, the Basket of Fries contains about the same amount as two medium fries, or roughly eight ounces. By comparison, the large fry is around six ounces. In many places, a large order of fries costs somewhere between $3.39 and $5.39, depending on location (here in New York City, a large order costs $6.49). <\/p>\n
\n One customer in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, shared<\/a> that the Basket of Fries cost $4.19 at their location, which was less than the price of a large. <\/p>\n
