Peel the potatoes.

Cut the potatoes into quarter-inch thick strips lengthwise.

Dip the potato strips in ice cold water for about 10 minutes.

After 10 minutes, take the fries out of the water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.

Check if the oil is ready by placing one fry in it; if it rises, the oil is ready.

Fry the potatoes in batches, placing a few at a time in the hot oil.

Keep turning the fries until they are golden brown from all sides and crispy, which takes about 5-6 minutes total.

Remove the fries from the oil when they are golden brown and crispy, and drain them on paper towels.

Sprinkle salt on the fries before serving.
