1
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips, approximately 1/4 inch wide. Rinse the cut potatoes in cold water to remove excess starch, then pat them dry with paper towels.
2
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure the oil reaches the right temperature for frying.
3
Fry the Potatoes (First Fry)
Carefully add a handful of potato strips to the hot oil. Fry them in batches for about 3-4 minutes until they are tender but not browned. Remove them from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
4
Fry the Potatoes (Second Fry)
Once all potatoes have been pre-fried, increase the oil temperature to 375°F (190°C). Fry the potatoes again in batches for an additional 3-5 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy. Drain on fresh paper towels and sprinkle with salt while they are hot.
5
Add Cheese
While the fries are still hot, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the fries. Allow the cheese to melt slightly before serving.
