Method

Steps

Place potatoes in a medium bowl; add cold water to cover and chill overnight. Drain; cover with cold water and let soak 1 hour longer.
Fit a large pot with thermometer; pour in oil to measure 3”. Heat over medium-high heat until thermometer registers 375°.
Drain potatoes and gently pat dry. Working in batches and returning oil to 375° between batches, fry until golden and crisp, about 5 minutes. Using a spider or slotted spoon, transfer fries to a paper towel–lined baking sheet; season with salt and Old Bay.
