Time 1h30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

5 large russet potatoes, peeled (or well scrubbed if leaving leaving the skin on)
1 quart peanut oil
kosher salt

Steps:

  • Cut the potatoes lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick slices, then cut each slice lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick fries. Put the fries in a large bowl of cold water and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 8 hours.
  • Heat the oil in a heavy-bottomed medium stockpot over medium heat, or in a tabletop deep fryer, to 325°F Line a baking sheet with paper towels and set aside.
  • Drain the fries well and pat dry in batches with paper towels. Fry each batch, turning frequently, for 3 to 4 minutes or until the fries are a pale blond color and limp. Remove with a mesh skimmer to the baking sheet lined with paper towels.
  • Increase the heat of the oil to 375°F.
  • Fry the potatoes again, in batches, turning frequently, until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove with the skimmer and drain on clean paper towels. Season immediately with salt and serve hot.

These fries were so easy to make. I'm not a great cook, but I was able to follow the recipe easily and the fries turned out great.

I've tried many French fry recipes, but this one is by far the best. The fries were perfectly golden brown and had a great flavor.

These fries were amazing! They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. I used russet potatoes, and they turned out perfect.
