- Increase the oil temperature to 375°F (190°C).

- Drain on fresh paper towels and immediately sprinkle with salt.
6. Serve Hot

🔥 Pro Tips
- Double frying is key: The first fry cooks the inside, the second gives you the crispy exterior.
- Keep the oil hot: Let the oil return to the right temperature between batches.
- Season while hot: Salt sticks best when fries are fresh from the oil.
- For a twist: Try tossing with garlic powder, truffle oil, Parmesan, or chili flakes.
🍽️ Perfect Pairings
- Classic cheeseburgers or sliders
- Fried chicken or grilled sandwiches
- Served as poutine with gravy and cheese curds
- On their own as a late-night snack
