Method
Preparing the Fries
- 1
Fry the Potatoes
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Carefully add the frozen French fries to the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

Drain the Fries
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fries from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. Season with salt to taste.
