8 Russet potatoes
2-3 quarts peanut or vegetable oil for frying (about 8-12 cups)
Salt

Directions:
Wash and peel potatoes. Carefully slice off on side of each potato to create a flat surface, then slice the potato into 1/4" to 1/2" inch slices. Lay the slices flat and slice into 1/4" to 1/2" sticks. Place sliced potatoes in a large bowl filled with cold water and soak for at least 1 hour and up to overnight. Rinse well, then pat dry with a clean dish cloth or paper towels. Fill a large pot or dutch oven with a few inches of vegetable, canola, or peanut oil. Heat to 300º F. A candy thermometer that clips to the side of the pot is helpful for keeping the temperature consistent while frying french fries. Working in batches, fry a few handfuls of the sliced potatoes at a time for about 5-6 minutes, until cooked through but still very pale. Remove from the hot oil to a baking sheet lined with paper towel using a slotted spoon or tongs. Repeat with remaining potatoes. Once all of the potatoes have been partially fried, increase the heat to 400 degrees F.
