1
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Slice them into thick strips, about 1/4 inch wide.
2
Soak the Potatoes
Place the potato strips in a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch.
3
Heat the Oil
In a large, heavy pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
4
Fry the Potatoes (First Fry)
Remove the potatoes from the water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Fry the potatoes in batches for about 4-5 minutes, or until they are soft but not browned. Remove and drain on paper towels.
5
Fry the Potatoes (Second Fry)
Increase the heat of the oil to 375°F (190°C). Fry the potatoes again in batches for another 3-4 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
6
Season and Serve
While still hot, sprinkle the fries with salt and black pepper. Drizzle with vinegar if desired. Garnish with fresh parsley if using. Serve immediately.
