Method
Fries Preparation
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into thick fries.
Soak the Fries
Soak the cut fries in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

Heat the Oil
In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add the fries in batches to the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes.
Drain and Season
Remove the fries from the oil and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt to taste.

Remove the stems and seeds from the guajillo peppers. Soak them in hot water for 15 minutes.
Make the Aioli
