  • salt to taste
  • 900 g russet potatoes peeled, sliced lengthwise into 1/4" to 3/8" wide sticks
  • 1 l peanut oil, for deep frying

  • Recipe preparation steps

  • 1
    Place potatoes in a large bowl of cold water. Change the water repeatedly to remove the potato starch, until the water remains clear. (Potatoes can be prepared a few hours ahead to this point and set aside at room temperature in a bowl covered with cold water. Drain before cooking.)
  • 2
    Dry the potatoes well in a lettuce spinner and with a clean kitchen towel.
  • 3
    Line two large baking sheets with paper towels.
  • 4
    Heat oil to 350°F in a wok or large pot.
  • 5
    Fry potatoes in small batches without crowding until completely cooked, but barely colored, turning occasionally.
  • 6
    Transfer to the prepared sheets in a single layer using a slotted spoon. (Potatoes can be prepared a few hours ahead to this point and set aside at room temperature.)
  • 7
    Heat oven to 400°F. Line another baking sheet with paper towels. Reheat oil to 350°F.
  • 8
    Fry potatoes again in small batches until crisp and golden brown, turning occasionally.
  • 9
    Transfer cooked potatoes to the prepared sheet using a slotted spoon, and keep them warm in the oven while cooking the remaining potatoes.
  • 10
    Sprinkle with salt, and serve immediately.
  • Ready !
