Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into thin shoestrings, about 1/8 inch thick.

Soak the Potatoes
Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

Fry the Potatoes
Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Drain the soaked potatoes and dry them thoroughly with a clean towel. Fry the potatoes in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per batch. Remove and drain on paper towels. Season with salt while hot.
