1 hour 45 minutes
Serves 4
INGREDIENTS:
  • 2 1/2 lb russet potatoes, peeled and rinsed
  • Canola oil, for frying
  • Kosher salt
DIRECTIONS:

Cut the potatoes into sticks and place in a large bowl. Cover with cold water and let soak, about 1 hour. Strain the potatoes in a colander and place potatoes on paper towel-lined baking sheets to dry.

Add 4 inches of oil to a large heavy-bottomed Dutch oven over medium-high heat, and heat oil to 325 degrees. In batches, fry the potatoes until lightly golden, 4-5 minutes.

Transfer the fried potatoes to dry paper towel-lined baking sheets. Repeat with remaining potatoes.

Turn heat up to high until oil reaches 375 degrees. In batches, fry the potatoes until desired doneness. Transfer the fried potatoes to dry paper towel-lined baking sheets. Sprinkle liberally with salt.
