Ingredients
- 4 russet potatoes peeled or scrubbed clean
- peanut oil for frying recommended but use the oil you prefer to fry
- Season Salt
- Kosher Salt
Instructions
- Preheat deep fryer or dutch oven with 3 inches of oil to 325°F.
- Cut potatoes lengthwise into about 1/2 inch sticks.
- Place cut fries into cold water until ready to fry.
- Take the fries out of the water in batches and dry them off with a clean kitchen towel. CAREFULLY place them into the hot oil and cook for 10-12 minutes. Stir them around in the oil a few times. There should not be a lot of color on the fries at this point. You will need to fry in batches.
- Shake off excess oil and dump fries out onto a wire rack that is sitting on a sheet tray.
- Turn up the heat to 375°F. Again, carefully place the fries back into the fryer in batches. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the exterior is golden brown and crispy.
- Shake off excess oil and dump back onto the wire rack. Immediately season with season salt and kosher salt to your taste.
