Ingredients

  • 2 lbs russet potatoes, cut into 1/3-inch sticks
  • Oil for frying
  • Salt

Method

  1. Soak cut potatoes in cold water 30 min. Drain, dry thoroughly.

  2. First fry at 325°F for 5 min (blanch — cooks the interior). Drain on rack.

  3. Second fry at 375°F for 3 min until golden and crispy. Salt immediately.

What You're Practicing

  • Soaking removes surface starch for crispier fries.
  • Double-fry: first fry cooks through, second fry crisps. Same technique used worldwide.
