Perfect French Fries - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 lbs russet potatoes
None None Peanut oil, for deep-frying

Preparation

Cut the potatoes lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick slices, then cut slices into 1/4-inch sticks. Soak the potatoes in large bowl of cold water for 30 mins to avoid discoloration. Drain and pat dry with paper towels.
Heat the oil in a deep-fryer, wok or large saucepan to 325\u00b0F. Cook the potatoes, in 3 batches, for about 4 mins each or until just tender but not browned. Drain on paper towels and let stand for 10 mins.
Reheat the oil to 350\u00b0F. Cook the potatoes, in 3 batches, separating any that stick together by shaking deep-fryer basket or with a slotted spoon, until crisp and golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
