Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds potatoes, peeled
  • Extra virgin olive oil for deep frying (enough to cover fries) 
  • salt

Instructions
 

  • Peel potatoes. Cut into french fry shape. Make sure they aren't too thick. Try and make them about 1/4 inch thick.
  • Soak fries in a bowl of water for half an hour. Pat dry with paper towels.
  • Set burner to medium and wait for oil to heat up, about 5 minutes. Make sure you have enough oil so the fries will be completely covered while frying.
  • Fry potatoes until they start to turn golden brown on edges, stirring every few minutes. Transfer to a plate with paper towels on it to soak up some of the excess oil. Sprinkle salt on top.
