Ingredients
- 8 Russet potatoes
- 2-3 quarts peanut or vegetable oil for frying about 8-12 cups
- salt
Instructions
- Wash and peel potatoes. Carefully slice off on side of each potato to create a flat surface, then slice the potato into 1/4" to 1/2" inch slices. Lay the slices flat and slice into 1/4" to 1/2" sticks.
- Place sliced potatoes in a large bowl filled with cold water and soak for at least 1 hour and up to overnight. Rinse well, then pat dry with a clean dish cloth or paper towels.
- Fill a large pot or dutch oven with a few inches of vegetable, canola, or peanut oil. Heat to 300°F. A candy thermometer that clips to the side of the pot is helpful for keeping the temperature consistent while frying french fries.
- Working in batches, fry a few handfuls of the sliced potatoes at a time for about 5-6 minutes, until cooked through but still very pale. Remove from the hot oil to a baking sheet lined with paper towel using a slotted spoon or tongs. Repeat with remaining potatoes.
- Once all of the potatoes have been partially fried, increase the heat to 400°F.
- Working in batches again, fry a few handfuls of the fries for another 3-4 minutes until golden brown and crisp on the outside. Transfer to another baking sheet lined with paper towel using a slotted spoon or tongs. Season with salt, tossing to season evenly. Repeat with remaining fries.
- Serve hot with ketchup or fry sauce for dipping.

Notes
- The oil temperature will drop when you add the cold potato sticks, so be careful not to overcrowd the pan, especially with the first fry.
- Thinner-cut fries will cook faster and be crispier than if you cut thicker fries.
