Ingredients:  
5 pounds russet potatoes
Vegetable or peanut oil, for frying
Sea salt
Directions:
Directions:
Peel and rinse the potatoes. Then cut
them into sticks by cutting the potato
in 4 or 5 vertical pieces, and then cutting
each piece into sticks.
Place them in a large bowl and cover
with cold water. Allow them to soak, 2
to 3 hours. (You can also stick them in the
fridge and let them soak overnight.)
When you're ready to make the fries, drain off the water and lay the potatoes on
2 baking sheets lined with paper towels. Blot with paper towels to dry them.
Heat a few inches of oil in a heavy pot to 300 degrees F. In 3 or 4 batches, cook
the potatoes until soft, 4 to 5 minutes per batch. They should not be brown at
this point! You just want to start the cooking process. Remove each batch and drain
on new/dry paper towels.
Once all the potatoes have been fried at 300 degrees F, turn up the heat until the
oil reaches 400 degrees F. When the oil's hot, start frying the potatoes in batches
again, cooking until the fries are golden and crisp. Remove the potatoes from the oil
and drain on paper towels.
Sprinkle with sea salt and dive in!
