Scrub the potatoes under cold running water.

Cut the potatoes lengthwise into long 1/2-inch thick batons (sticks) using a sharp knife or a mandoline set on the widest setting.

Immediately place them in the bowl of cold water to prevent discoloration.

When the oil is at temperature, increase the heat to high.

Drain the potatoes well, pat them dry, and carefully drop a third of them into the hot oil.

This is the moment when the oil could overflow.

If it looks like it might, pull a few potatoes out quickly, using a slotted spoon or tongs, until the oil subsides

Have a baking sheet ready.
Keep an eye on the temperature of the oil.

The potatoes are added. Continue cooking the potatoes without disturbing

Remove the cooked potatoes carefully with a slotted spoon or tongs

Shake them lightly over the pot to drain excess oil.

Place them on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the rest of the potatoes.

Occasionally, between batches, the temperature of the oil can get too high. If that happens, turn off the heat and wait
until the oil some cools to before proceeding

Once all the potatoes have been fried, fry them all together a second time,

They will crisp in about 5 minutes. Shake off excess oil, transfer them to a large serving bowl, and sprinkle generously with salt.
