Ingredients

  • pounds baking potatoes peeled (russet)
  • servings mayonnaise 
  • cups vegetable oil 

Equipment

  • paper towels
  • knife
  • pot
  • slotted spoon

Directions

  1. Heat 1 1/2 inches oil to 325°F in a 5-quart heavy pot over medium heat. While oil is heating, cut potatoes with slicer into 1/4-inch sticks.
  2. Fry potatoes in 5 batches for 1 1/2 minutes per batch (potatoes will not be golden) and transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain. (Return oil to 325°F between batches.)
  3. Heat oil to 350°F. Refry potatoes in 5 batches until golden and crisp, about 5 minutes per batch, and transfer to clean paper towels to drain. (Return oil to 350°F between batches.)
  4. Season fries with salt.
  5. If you don’t have an adjustable- blade slicer, you can slice the potatoes with a knife lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick slices, then cut into 1/4-inch sticks.
