The perfect french fries

1. Cut potatoes in thick slices. Put the fries in a large bowl of cold water and refrigerate for 1 up to 8 hours. Drain them well with paper towers

2. Heat the oil in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat until temperature reaches 160C (about 325F). You're gonna need a cooking thermometer. Fry them for 4 to 5 minutes until they turn pale and look limp. Drain the fries well with paper towers

3. Increase the heat to 190C (375F). Fry the potatoes again in batches, turning frequently for 4 to 5 minutes. Remove and drain them with paper towers. Season immediately with salt. Serve hot

Awesome crispness!
