1
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips (about 1/4 inch thick) to create fries.
2
Soak the Fries
Place the cut fries in a bowl of cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat dry with a paper towel.
3
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
4
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add the dried fries to the hot oil in batches, avoiding overcrowding. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes.
5
Drain and Season
Remove the fries from the oil and drain on paper towels. While still hot, season with salt and pepper to taste.
