French Fries

  • 4 large russet potatoes peeled and cut into thin strips
  • 4 cups vegetable oil for frying
  • 1 tsp salt to taste

Instructions
 

  • Peel and cut the potatoes into thin strips. Rinse in cold water to remove excess starch.

  • Heat oil in a deep fryer or heavy pot to 325°F (163°C).
  • Fry the potatoes in batches for 3-4 minutes until lightly golden. Remove and drain on paper towels.
  • Increase oil temperature to 375°F (190°C) and fry the potatoes again for 2-3 minutes until crispy and golden brown.
  • Remove from oil, drain, and immediately season with salt.

Notes

For extra crispy fries, make sure to soak them in cold water and double fry!
