1
Wash and Peel Potatoes
Wash the Russet potatoes under cold running water to remove any dirt. Peel the potatoes using a vegetable peeler.
2
Cut the Potatoes
Cut the peeled potatoes into even slices, approximately 1/4 inch thick, and then cut those slices into fries. Aim for uniformity to ensure even cooking.

3
Heat the Oil
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, pour in the vegetable oil and heat it over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
4
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add a batch of the cut fries to the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Fry the potatoes for about 5-7 minutes, or until they turn golden brown.
5
Drain the Fries
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried fries from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
6
Season the Fries
While the fries are still hot, sprinkle with salt and pepper (to taste) to ensure the seasoning sticks.
7
Repeat the Frying Process
Repeat the frying process with the remaining batches of fries until all are cooked.
