4 servings
- 3 lbs russet potatoes (about 4 large), peeled
- 2 quarts neutral oil (such as canola or peanut oil), for frying
- kosher salt, to taste
Instructions
- 1
Cut the peeled potatoes into batons about 1/4 inch wide and 3–4 inches long. Place them in a large bowl, cover with cold water, and soak for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours) to draw out excess starch.
- 2
Drain the potatoes and spread them on a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Pat thoroughly dry — any surface moisture will cause the oil to spatter and prevent crisping.
