Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick.

Soak the Potatoes
Place the cut potato strips in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch.

Fry the Potatoes
Remove the potatoes from the water and pat them dry with paper towels. Carefully add them to the hot oil in batches, frying for about 5-6 minutes until golden brown.

Drain and Season
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fries from the oil and drain them on paper towels. While they are still hot, sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
