Select russet potatoes for their high starch and low moisture content to achieve crispier fries.
Cut the potatoes into uniform, long, thin fries using a French mandoline slicer.
Discard any damaged or rotten pieces from the cut potatoes.
Place the fries in a bowl of cold water and rinse them well to remove surface starch.
Soak the fries in the cold water for 6 to 8 hours or overnight in the refrigerator.
After soaking, pat the fries thoroughly dry with a towel to remove all moisture.
Heat a high smoke point oil—such as vegetable oil, canola oil, or duck fat—to about 150 °C (300 °F).
Blanch the fries in the oil for 3 to 5 minutes until they soften but show no color.
Remove the fries from the oil and spread them in a single layer to cool in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 hours.
Increase the oil temperature to around 190–195 °C (375–380 °F).
