The trick to the best Homemade French Fries is a cold soak in water and two rounds of frying: a round to cook the potatoes and a round to make the fries crispy.

📝 Preparation Steps
1
In the bottom of a large bowl, add cut potatoes. Cover completely with cold water and soak for at least ⏱️ 15 minutes (up to ⏱️ 24 hours).
2
Drain well and spread evenly on a clean kitchen towel, patting dry on top with a second towel. Toss and continue patting until the potatoes are mostly dry, then divide into 3 piles.
3
Set a colander over a bowl for draining. In a Dutch oven, deep pot, or deep fryer, heat oil over medium-high heat to 330 degrees. Add 1/3 of the potatoes to the oil and cook ⏱️ 4 minutes. Using tongs or a slotted spoon, transfer to the colander to drain.
4
Return the oil temperature to 330 degrees and repeat with remaining potatoes, letting the grease drain for at least ⏱️ 10 minutes after the third batch.
5
Increase the oil temperature to 350 degrees. Again working with 1/3 of the fries at a time, return to the oil and fry until golden brown, about 3 to ⏱️ 4 minutes. If the oil temperature is higher than 350 degrees, the fries will brown quickly and should be removed to prevent scorching.
6
Remove to a baking sheet, season with salt to taste, and repeat with remaining French fries.
