- Peel and rinse the potatoes. Then cut them into sticks by cutting the potato in 4 or 5 vertical pieces, and then cutting each piece into sticks.
- Place them in a large bowl and cover with cold water. Allow them to soak, 2 to 3 hours. (You can also stick them in the fridge and let them soak overnight.)
- When you're ready to make the fries, drain off the water and lay the potatoes on 2 baking sheets lined with paper towels. Blot with paper towels to dry them.
- Heat a few inches of oil in a heavy pot to 300 degrees F. In 3 or 4 batches, cook the potatoes until soft, 4 to 5 minutes per batch. They should not be brown at this point! You just want to start the cooking process. Remove each batch and drain on new/dry paper towels.
- Once all the potatoes have been fried at 300 degrees F, turn up the heat until the oil reaches 400 degrees F. When the oil's hot, start frying the potatoes in batches again, cooking until the fries are golden and crisp. Remove the potatoes from the oil and drain on paper towels.
- Sprinkle with sea salt and dive in!

Steps:
- Scrub potato, cut into wedges.
- Soak potato slices in hot water for 10 minutes or cold water for 1 hour.
- Pat potatos dry. Lightly oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. You can use spray oil too!
- Preheat over to 475 degrees. Cover fries with foil and bake for 5 minutes.
- Uncover and continue cooking for 15 minutes. Turn potatos over and cook for an additional 15 minutes.
Tips:
- For the best results, use fresh potatoes. Russet potatoes are a good choice, as they have a high starch content, which makes them crispy when fried.
- Cut the potatoes into even-sized pieces so that they cook evenly.
- Soak the potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes before frying. This will help to remove the starch and make the potatoes more crispy.
- Heat the oil to a high temperature before adding the potatoes. This will help to create a crispy crust.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the potatoes. This will cause them to steam instead of fry.
- Cook the potatoes until they are golden brown and crispy. This will take about 5-7 minutes.
- Season the potatoes with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the potatoes immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
