peel potatoes.
start heating oil in a deep skillet filled high enough to cover potatoes and give them room to move around (or use a deep fryer)
cut potatoes longwise into half inch thick slices. then lay flat and cut each slice again a half inch thick. so u have half inch thick sticks. keep smaller ones and edges. it'll be fine. ( I use a potato cutter)
once grease is hot ( test by tossing in a piece of potato if it sinks them floats within about 30 seconds ur good) toss in about 1/5 of ur potato sticks. make sure u don't overload ur pan or it will cool grease and fries will be soggy.
cook about 10-12 minutes stirring them halfway through. they should be nice and golden. if u want them more crisp just cook longer.
remove from grease and drain onto paper towel lined plate.
sprinkle with season salt and pepper to taste.
repeat until ur out of potato sticks..
serve.. :)
