Drain and pat the potatoes dry thoroughly with a clean towel. 4. Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot to 325°F (165°C). 5. Fry the potatoes in batches for about 4-5 minutes until soft but not colored. Remove and drain on paper towels. 6. Increase oil temperature to 375°F (190°C). 7. Fry the potatoes again in batches until golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. 8. Drain on paper towels and immediately season with salt and optional spices. 9. Serve hot and enjoy your crispy French fries.
