In the video, we see a person's hand placing a basket of fries into a deep fryer. The fries are then submerged in the hot oil, causing them to bubble and sizzle. The person uses tongs to turn the basket over, ensuring that the fries are evenly cooked. The fries are then removed from the oil and placed on a paper towel to drain. The video provides a close-up view of the frying process, highlighting the transformation of the fries from raw to crispy.
