Ingredients
PREP TIME: 2 hours 15 minutes COOK TIME: 20 minutes
5 pounds russet potatoes – Choose similarly sized russet or Idaho potatoes so that the cut fries will be the same size and cook at the same rate. Do not use waxy potatoes like red and fingerling potatoes which have a much higher moisture content that evaporates leaving the insides hollow. vegetable or peanut oil, for frying – The best oil has a high smoke point like vegetable, canola oil, or peanut oil. sea salt – Simply salting them is classically delicious, but you can also add black pepper, garlic salt, onion powder, seasoning salt, and paprika.
