Ingredients
8 russet potatoes Peanut oil for frying Salt
Directions
For french fries: Peel potatoes and cut into 1/4" slices and then cut each slice into 1/4" strips. Place potato strips into a large bowl of cold water.
Preheat oven to 200 degrees F.
Pour about 3" of peanut oil into a dutch oven/deep fryer and heat to 300 degrees F.
Drain potatoes and dry with a paper towel.
Working in batches, carefully slide potatoes into hot oil and fry for about 5-8 minutes. Potatoes should just start to turn golden.
Remove potatoes with a large slotted spoon onto paper towels.
Just before serving time, bring oil back to 300 degree F temperature and fry potatoes for about 5 minutes, until browned. Drain and salt.
