True story - I worked with a guy who designed one of the machines used for processing food at McDonalds. It was the fry machine (sorry, no pies... but they do rhyme).

The 'taters are carried along a conveyor belt, into a machine much like a pencil sharpener, that removes the skin (it also removes much of the potato, but 'taters are cheaper than labor).

Then, the newly-deskinned tater is forced through a grate, cutting it into the little fries. Then, they are soaked in sugar and grease before being frozen and shipped to your favorite MickeyD's.
