Content: Be careful not to overcrowd the pan. If you add too many fries at once, the temperature of the oil will decrease too much to crisp the fries. When you are done frying, allow oil to cool before discarding it. Never reuse frying oil. Cook Time

Crispy Homemade French Fries
Ingredients
2 pounds (1 kilo) starchy potatoes
1 (32-ounce) bottle (approx. 1 litre) cooking oil, see tips for more information
1/2 cup (2 ounces or 75 grams) cornstarch, or cornflour (UK)
kosher or fine sea salt, for sprinkling
Instructions
As seen in photographs below, slice clean potatoes into matchsticks (also called "julienne"). Soak potato matchsticks in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove some of the starch. Using a deep oil thermometer, heat vegetable oil to 325 Fahrenheit (165 C). Rinse and drain the matchsticks, then dry thoroughly with a cotton towel or paper towels. Dust dried matchsticks with cornstarch.
