Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 300°F (150°C).
Fry the potatoes in batches for 3-5 minutes, until they are soft but not browned.
Remove them with a slotted spoon and let them cool on a paper towel-lined tray.
Second Fry (Crisping)
Increase the oil temperature to 375°F (190°C).
Fry the potatoes again in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes.
Remove and drain on fresh paper towels.
Season and Serve
Sprinkle with salt immediately after frying while they are still hot.
Serve with your favorite dipping sauces!
