Peel the potatoes then cut them lengthwise into fry shapes roughly 1/4-inch thick.
Place the cut potatoes in a large bowl and rinse thoroughly under cold water until the water in the bowl is clear.
Drain the potatoes and place them on paper towels in a single layer, pat them dry.
Place the potatoes into a dutch oven and pour the oil over top then turn the heat to high and bring the oil to a boil, about 8 minutes.
Gently stir the fries to keep them from sticking and continue to cook the fries, gently stirring occasionally, until the fries are golden brown, crispy on the outside, and creamy on the inside, about 20 minutes.
Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fries to a paper towel lined plate to soake up any excess oil.
I didn't have peanut oil, so I used vegetable and these turned out perfect. I got concerned because they weren't browning, but trust the process, they WILL get there! These were delicious fries!! I will definitely hang onto this recipe
