McDonald’s recently launched a new French Onion flavour for its Shaker Fries, and it sounds promising. After all, onion and potatoes are a match made in heaven. So we gave this new menu item a go.

Shake it off
The French onion seasoning for the Shaker Fries (top up 70 cents with every Extra Value Meal for it) comes in a little sachet, similar to McDonald’s previously-launched flavours like Seaweed. The coarse powder within has the off-white colour of milk powder, and smells pretty pungent, like onions and sour cream. Ooh. We empty our box of fries into the paper bag provided, dump the sachet’s contents in, and shake it vigorously till each fry is evenly coated in seasoning and speckled with attractive green bits of dried spring onions.

Verdict
Nice! Albeit in a junky way, like you’re indulging in a can of Sour Cream & Onion Pringles crisps while binge-watching past episodes of Game Of Thrones. The tang of sour cream and sharpness of onions is evident with every bite (upon closer inspection, we see a single bit of diced onion mixed in with our fries). If you’re a fan of Sour Cream & Onion potato chips, you’ll probably like this. Tasty enough eaten on its own, but pair with curry sauce if you're into living dangerously.
McDonald’s French Onion Shaker Fries is available at all outlets islandwide, and via McDelivery and GrabFood, while stocks last.
