Peel and square off potato ends. Cut into 3/8” batons. Soak two hours changing water after an hour. Dry thoroughly with paper-towels. Heat about an inch of oil (or enough to cover potatoes) in large, heavy bottomed put to 290 degrees. Blanch potatoes gently for about two minutes until cooked through but still completely pale. Place on a paper-towels lined sheet pan and cool in refrigerator to stop cooking process.
Re-heat oil to 370 degrees. Cook fries until golden and crispy, about 3 to 4 minutes. If necessary, agitate gently with a spatula to prevent sticking. Remove from pan and toss with salt to taste (Myers doesn’t blot but you can if you want less fat). Serve immediately. Recipe serve 4 to 6
