Method
Preparing Fries
- 1
Frying the Fries
In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Carefully add the crinkle cut fries to the hot oil in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes.
- 3
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fries from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Sprinkle with salt while still hot.
