Ingredients

Directions
- Peel the potatoes and cut them into even-sized fries.
- Place the cut fries in a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for about 30 minutes.
- After soaking, drain the fries and pat them dry using a kitchen towel.
- Fill a large pot or Dutch oven with vegetable oil and heat it to 325°F (165°C).
- Working in batches, carefully add the fries to the hot oil and fry them for about 3-4 minutes, or until they are lightly golden but still soft.
- Remove the fries from the oil using a slotted spoon and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Increase the oil temperature to 375°F (190°C) and return the partially fried fries to the hot oil in batches.
- Fry the fries for an additional 3-4 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy.
- Once done, transfer the fries to a paper towel-lined plate again to drain the excess oil.
- While the fries are still hot, season them with salt to taste.
- Serve the homemade fries immediately and enjoy!
