- Bring large pot of salted water to boil.
- Cut a potatoe into 1/4 inch thick slices and lengthwise into 1/4 inch wide sticks.
- Cook in boiling water for 3 - 4 minutes.
- Use slotted spoon and carefully remove to sheet pan with rack to drain. Repeat with remaining potatoes.
- Leave potatoes to drain and dry. This step can be done up to 4 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.
- Pour canola oil into heavy large pot or deep fryer to the depth of 4 inches.
- Working in batches fry potatoes until golden, about 6 minutes.
- Sprinkle with salt and pepper before serving.
- Note: I put mine in an 300 oven to hold until the rest of dinner was ready and stayed crispy.
