Fry the Potatoes
In a large pot, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Use enough oil to submerge the fries. Once the oil is hot (about 350°F or 175°C), carefully add the potato strips in batches. Fry for 5-7 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt to taste.
