The preparation

8 steps, about 45 minutes start to finish.

  1. 01

    Cut russet potatoes into fry shapes.

  2. 02

    Soak cut potatoes in cold water for 15 minutes to 1 hour to remove starch.

  3. 03

    Heat oil to 225-250°F for the first fry.

  4. 04

    First fry potatoes for 3-5 minutes until they are cooked through but not browned.

  5. 05

    Remove fries and let them rest.

  6. 06

    Heat oil to 375°F for the second fry.

  7. 07

    Second fry for approximately 2 minutes until golden and crispy.

  8. 08

    Toss finished fries with Johnny's seasoning salt.

lightbulb The chef's notes

“The two-fry method is the whole trick, a low first fry cooks them through, then a hot second fry at 375 crisps the outside. Soak the cut potatoes first to rinse off starch, and dry them well before they hit the oil.”
