Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips (about 1/4 inch thick) to create fries.

Soak the Potatoes
Soak the potato strips in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat dry.

Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add the dried potato strips to the hot oil in batches. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

While still hot, sprinkle the fries with salt to taste.
