Heat oil in a deep fryer or large heavy-bottomed pot to 325°F (165°C).
Fry potatoes in batches for 3–4 minutes. They should be soft but not browned.
Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Let them rest for 10–15 minutes.
Second Fry – Crisp Up:
Heat oil to 375°F (190°C).
Fry the pre-cooked potatoes again for 2–3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Drain and immediately season with salt and/or other seasonings.
🔥 Pro Tips:
Use a thermometer to keep oil at the right temperature—too low and they get soggy, too high and they burn.
Want flavored fries? Toss in Parmesan, truffle oil, or cajun seasoning right after frying.
Serve with ketchup, garlic aioli, ranch, or spicy mayo.
