Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs. russet or baking potatoes
- Peanut oil (I prefer canola because it's healthier) for deep-fat frying
- Sea salt, kosher salt, salt, and/or other seasonings
Directions
- If desired, peel the potatoes (if you don't, at least scrub them.) Cut lengthwise into 1/4 to 3/8-inch sticks. Soak in ice water if not ready to fry.
- In a deep-fat fryer, heat peanut oil according to manufacturer's directions to 365 degrees Fahrenheit, or heat oil in a 3-quart or larger saucepan to 365 degrees Fahrenheit (saucepan should be no more than half full)
- Drain the potatoes well. Pat potatoes thoroughly dry on paper toweling. Fry the potatoes, about one-third at a time, until potatoes are tender in the center and edges are just beginning to color and blister, about 7 to 9 minutes. Remove with a frying basket and drain on paper toweling.
- To serve, sprinkle lightly with salt and other seasonings.
