Ingredients

  • 2 medium-sized Russet potatoes
  • oil for frying

Instructions

  • Peel skin off potatoes. Slice into fries, between 1/4 inch and 1/2 inch thick. Use a paper towel and dry potatoes as much as possible.
  • Pour oil into frying pan, about 2 inches in height. Drop in potatoes. Turn on stove to medium-high heat. When oil heats up the potatoes will begin to bubble. Continue to let the potatoes fry and bubble until they turn brown and crispy on all sides. You may need to use a spatula to separate potatoes so they don't stick together. Remove potatoes when done, soaking excess grease on paper towels. Serve immediately.
