Ingredients

• 4 large russet potatoes
• Vegetable oil, for frying
• Salt, to taste
• Optional toppings: ketchup, mayonnaise, or gravy

Directions

1. Peel the potatoes and cut them into thin, even strips. Rinse the fries in cold water to remove excess starch.
2. Place the fries in a large bowl filled with cold water and soak for 30 minutes to remove more starch.
3. After soaking, drain the water from the bowl and pat the fries dry using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
4. Fill a large pot or Dutch oven with vegetable oil, about 2-3 inches deep. Heat the oil to 325°F (163°C).
5. Add a handful of fries to the hot oil and fry for about 4-5 minutes or until they are just starting to turn golden brown. Remove the fries using a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
6. Increase the heat of the oil to 375°F (190°C). Add the partially cooked fries back into the hot oil, this time in batches of about half the amount. Fry for another 2-3 minutes or until the fries are golden brown and crispy.
7. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fries to a paper towel-lined plate again to drain excess oil. Sprinkle with salt while they are still hot.
8. Serve the chip truck-style fries immediately with your choice of toppings, such as ketchup, mayonnaise, or gravy.
9. Enjoy!
