Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel the Russet potatoes and cut them into thick fries, about 1/2 inch in width.

  2. 2

    First Cook

    Place the cut fries in a large pot of cold water and bring to a boil. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until just tender but not fully cooked. Drain and let cool.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 325°F (160°C).

  4. 4

    Fry the First Time

    Carefully add the cooled fries to the hot oil in batches. Fry for about 3-4 minutes until they are pale and soft but not browned. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Cool Down

    Allow the fries to cool completely for at least 30 minutes.

  6. 6

    Heat the Oil Again

    Increase the oil temperature to 375°F (190°C).

  7. 7

    Fry the Second Time

    Fry the chips in batches again for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  8. 8

    Season and Serve

    Sprinkle immediately with salt and any desired seasonings. Serve hot.
