Preparation

Cut the Potatoes
Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick, to create fries.

Soak the Fries
Place the cut fries in a large bowl of cold water. Let them soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch, which helps in achieving crispy fries.

Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure the oil is at the right temperature.

Dry the Fries
After soaking, drain the fries and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add a batch of the dried fries to the hot oil. Fry them for about 5-6 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove them with a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
