Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips, about 1/4 inch wide.
Dry the Potatoes
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean towel.
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add a batch of potatoes to the hot oil and fry for about 3-5 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Season the Fries
While the fries are still hot, sprinkle with salt to taste.
