Place the cut potatoes in a bowl filled with cold water and let them soak for about 30 minutes. This will remove some of the starch and help make the fries crispier.
2
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
3
Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large pot over medium-high heat.
4
Once the oil is hot, carefully add the potatoes in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
5
Fry the potatoes for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
6
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fries from the oil and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
7
Sprinkle the fries with salt to taste.
8
Repeat the frying process with the remaining potatoes.
9
Serve the hot and crispy french fries immediately.
