Are sweet potato fries available at McDonald’s?
By Callum Gunn
Fans are asking for them but can you get them? Are sweet potato fries available at McDonald’s?
It’s a very simple and very annoying answer to this question; yes and no. Sweet potato fries are available at McDonald’s but only in a select few. Restaurants in Sweden, Singapore, Norway and specifically Amsterdam in the Netherlands have sweet potato fries. They are not available in the US.
There is no good reason why McDonald’s doesn’t have them in the US though, as they tested the fries out in Amarillo, Texas back in 2015.

What is super annoying about it all is if you were to visit the official US McDonald’s website you will find sweet potato fries. They are not listed in the regular menu, but you can find all the details about the fries, such as the nutritional information and the ingredients summary.

So will they ever become available on the McDonald’s US menu?
Unfortunately, despite them being on the menu before, despite them having all the details listed on the McDonald’s website, there is no intention of bringing them to the menu.
According to the Daily Mail, a spokesperson for the fast food giants spoke to Femail and explained that they have no announcement about sweet potato fries at the moment and they are currently not available in the US.

Now, of course, that doesn’t mean they will never become available, they may do one day but not anytime soon. What you can do though, if you really want them to be available one day, is make sure McDonald’s knows about it. Use Social Media to your advantage and Tweet, post and share your thoughts about having sweet potato fries added to the menu. It is amazing what can happen when the consumer makes their opinion known.
Failing that, you can always move to Sweden, Singapore, Norway or specifically Amsterdam in the Netherlands. They have Sweet Potato Fries in their McDonald’s.
