Steps:
- Pour oil in a deep fryer or heavy saucepan to reach halfway up the sides of the pan.
- Heat to 325 degrees F, use a deep fry thermometer to determine this.
- While the oil is heating, peel the potatoes and push through a French fry cutter to form uniform sticks.
- As you go, place the cut potatoes in a bowl of ice water to release some of the starch and to keep them from browning.
- Dry the potato strips thoroughly, this will keep the oil from splattering.
- Fry the potatoes in batches so the pan isn't crowded and the oil temperature does not plummet.
- Cook for 3 minutes until they are soft but not browned.
- Remove the potatoes with a long-handled metal strainer and drain on brown paper bags.
- Bring oil temperature up to 375 degrees F.
- Return the par-fried potatoes to the oil in batches and cook a second time for 4 minutes until golden and crispy.
- Drain on fresh brown paper bags then place in a serving bowl lined with paper towels.
- Salt and serve immediately.
CHEF JOHN'S FRENCH FRIES
I don't think most people realize that any decent French fry needs to be twice fried. The first frying in done at a lower temperature, which softens the potato and prepares the starchy surface for the second frying's crispification.

Steps:
- Soak potatoes in a large bowl of water for about 30 minutes. Pat dry thoroughly with paper towels.
- Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C). Gently add the potatoes in the hot oil for about 5 minutes, stirring and flipping the potatoes occasionally. Remove potatoes from oil with a slotted spoon to drain on paper towel and to cool completely.
- Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Fry the potatoes again until golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes. Blot with a paper towel. Sprinkle with salt to serve.

Steps:
- Peel and rinse the potatoes. Then cut them into sticks by cutting the potato in 4 or 5 vertical pieces, and then cutting each piece into sticks.
- Place them in a large bowl and cover with cold water. Allow them to soak, 2 to 3 hours. (You can also stick them in the fridge and let them soak overnight.)
- When you're ready to make the fries, drain off the water and lay the potatoes on 2 baking sheets lined with paper towels. Blot with paper towels to dry them.
- Heat a few inches of oil in a heavy pot to 300 degrees F. In 3 or 4 batches, cook the potatoes until soft, 4 to 5 minutes per batch. They should not be brown at this point! You just want to start the cooking process. Remove each batch and drain on new/dry paper towels.
- Once all the potatoes have been fried at 300 degrees F, turn up the heat until the oil reaches 400 degrees F. When the oil's hot, start frying the potatoes in batches again, cooking until the fries are golden and crisp. Remove the potatoes from the oil and drain on paper towels.
- Sprinkle with sea salt and dive in!
