Put some water on the stove to boil and add some salt to the water. It should be pretty salty. c:

Scrub your potatoes.

Cut them about a half an inch thick.

Fill a bowl with some ice water.

Blanch your potatoes in the boiling saltwater.

After 1-2 minutes put your fries into the ice water until cool.

Put them onto some paper towels and let them air-dry, or you can pat them dry with a paper towel.

Fill a saucepan about 2 inches with oil and bring to a boil, then add your fries.

Take them out when golden brown and enjoy! *for extra crispy fries you can boil them in oil twice, once until just barely yellow and wait for them to dry then again until golden brown.
