1. Wash and cut potatoes then soak cut potatoes in a large bowl of water for 1-2 hours. Pat dry with paper towels.
2. Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350ºF.
3. Add a small amount of cut potatoes. Start with about 10 to see how your pot and oil work. You definitely do not want to crowd the fries.
4. Working in these small batches, fry the potatoes until tender all the way through and golden brown on the outside, about 3-4 minutes.
5. Use a slotted spoon to remove from the oil and transfer to a plate lined with paper towel. Sprinkle with salt immediately. Serve.
