Number Of Ingredients 3

2 lb potatoes (preferably bintjes or idaho) peeled and sliced lengthwise into 1/3 x 1/3 x 2 1/2-inch sticks
vegetable oil, for frying
fine sea salt, to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Soak potatoes in cold water and cover for a minimum of 1 hour and up to 24 hours. Drain, and pat dry.

  • 6. Fry potatoes in small batches, turning occasionally, until crisp and golden brown. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to prepared baking sheet in a single layer.

These fries were the best I've ever had! They were crispy, fluffy, and had the perfect amount of salt. I will definitely be making them again and again.
