1
Peeling and Cutting
Peel the Russet potatoes and cut them into even sticks, about 1/4 inch thick.
2
Soaking
Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch. This will help achieve a crispier fry.

3
Heating Oil
In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can use a thermometer to check the temperature.
4
Frying Potatoes
Drain the soaked potatoes and pat them dry with a paper towel. Carefully add a batch of potatoes to the hot oil, being cautious of splatter. Fry for about 5-6 minutes until golden brown.
5
Draining and Seasoning
Remove the fries from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Immediately sprinkle with sea salt and any optional seasonings as desired.

6
Presentation
Serve the fries in a basket or on a platter while hot. Enjoy them as a side dish or snack!
