Cooking Instructions
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut them into evenly sized strips, about 1/4 inch thick.
Soak the Potatoes
Place the potato strips in a bowl of cold water and soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat them dry with paper towels.
Heat the Oil
In a deep pot or large frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add the potato strips to the hot oil in batches. Fry until they are golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Season the Fries
Sprinkle the hot fries with salt while they are still warm.
Serve
Serve the crispy fries hot with ketchup on the side.
