Ingredients:

Serving

2 1/2 lbs russet potatoes ( the longer the better)
2 -3 quarts canola oil
kosher salt , to taste

Directions:

Slice washed, unpeeled potatoes lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick planks, then into 1/4-inch sticks. Soak fries in very hot tap water for 1 hour. Pat dry and set aside.
Pour oil into a large, heavy pot, filling no more than halfway. Heat over medium-heat just until oil reaches 325 degrees (you can use a candy thermometer.) Carefully drop the fries into oil and turn burner to high. Cook for about 8 minutes, until barely golden. Transfer fries to a paper-lined baking sheet and let rest for 10 minutes, or up to 2 hours.
Reheat oil over medium-heat to 350 degrees. Return half the fries to oil and cook until crisp, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to paper-lined bowl and sprinkle generously with salt. Repeat with remaining fries. Serve immediately.
