Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large russet potatoes
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Peel the potatoes and cut them into thin strips.
- Soak the potato strips in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
- Drain and pat the potatoes dry with a paper towel.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C).
- Fry the potatoes in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove the fries from the oil and drain on paper towels.
- Season with salt while still hot and serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, double fry the potatoes: fry them once at a lower temperature, let them cool, and then fry again at a higher temperature.
- Experiment with different seasonings like garlic powder or paprika for added flavor.
