Prepare the Potatoes

Peel and cut the Russet potatoes into thick fries. Soak them in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

2

Fry the Potatoes

Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Drain the potatoes and pat them dry. Fry the potatoes in batches until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels, then season with salt.
