Method
Preparing the Fries
- 1
Cutting the Potatoes
Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips to create fries.

Soaking the Potatoes
Soak the cut fries in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
- 3
Drying the Fries
Drain the soaked fries and pat them dry with paper towels to prevent oil splatter during frying.

Heating the Oil
In a large, heavy pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C) over medium-high heat.

Frying the Fries
Carefully add the dried potato strips to the hot oil in batches. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes per batch.

Draining and Seasoning
Remove the fries from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate. Sprinkle with salt while still hot.
