Prepare the Potatoes
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into thin strips (about 1/4 inch thick). Rinse the cut potatoes in cold water to remove excess starch, then pat them dry with a kitchen towel.

Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add the potato strips in batches to the hot oil, frying them for about 5-7 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove the fries with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Sprinkle with salt immediately.
