Prepare the Potatoes
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick. Soak the potato strips in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
- 2
Dry the Potatoes
Drain the potato strips and pat them dry with paper towels to remove as much moisture as possible.

Heat the Oil
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add a handful of potato strips to the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Season and Serve
Sprinkle the hot fries with fleur de sel to taste. Serve immediately while hot.
