1
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut them into even strips, about 1/4 inch thick.
2
Soak the Potatoes
Place the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water and soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
3
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
4
Fry the Potatoes
Drain the soaked potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels. Carefully add a batch of the potatoes to the hot oil and fry for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
5
Season the Fries
While the fries are still hot, sprinkle them with lemon pepper seasoning and salt to taste. Toss gently to coat.
6
Serve
Serve the fries hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
