McDonald's fries are generally gluten-free, as long as the individual restaurant follows McDonald's procedures. You might want to ask to make sure that they use a dedicated fryer - they make the fries in a machine that is only used for making fries. This is normally done in most McDonalds and the result is fries that are gluten-free. There is no gluten in the potato or the oil. A few restaurants may contaminate the oil by cooking breaded chicken in the oil.

Some common hidden sources of gluten would be salad dressings (modified food starch), soy sauce (wheat), steak/fry spices, and the oil in which french fries are fried. (if it is not a dedicated fryer for fries only, it will contain gluten from other breaded items they've fried in it) You must always be on guard when eating out, since waitstaff commonly confuse gluten for "glucose" and may inadvertently guide you to a selection that will make you ill. As for fast food, McDonalds will serve any burger in a dish, bun-free, and their fries are in a dedicated fryer.
