1
Prepare the Potatoes
Peel the Russet potatoes and cut them into thin shoestring fries. Rinse the cut fries in cold water to remove excess starch and pat them dry with a paper towel.
2
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). You can use a thermometer to ensure the oil is at the right temperature.
3
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add a handful of the shoestring fries to the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove the fries with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
4
Season the Fries
While the fries are still hot, sprinkle them with salt to taste. Toss gently to ensure even seasoning.
5
Serve
Serve the fries hot with a side of ketchup for dipping.
