Cut the Potatoes
Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips to make fries.

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

Fry the Potatoes
Remove fries from water, pat them dry, and fry them in batches for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Season the Fries
Sprinkle salt over the hot fries while they are still warm.
