Equipment
- Deep Fryer or Heavy Pot

Ingredients
- 1 lb frozen French fries
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon Season All salt
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Stepwise Method
- Gather all your ingredients and equipment. Measure out the vegetable oil and seasonings so you have everything ready to go.
- In your deep fryer or heavy pot, pour in 1 cup of vegetable oil. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C). Use a kitchen thermometer to check the temperature for optimal frying.
- Carefully add the frozen French fries to the hot oil in small batches. Avoid overcrowding the pot. Fry for about 3 to 5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
- Using a slotted spoon or spider strainer, remove the fries from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- While the fries are still hot, sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of Season All salt and add salt and pepper to taste. Toss gently to coat evenly.
- Transfer the fries to a serving dish and enjoy them hot. Pair with your favorite dipping sauces if desired.
Notes
- Always be cautious when working with hot oil; monitor temperature closely and never leave unattended.
- For extra crispiness, try double-frying the fries—fry once, cool, then fry again briefly.
- Drain fries well after frying on paper towels to avoid sogginess.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days; reheat in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 10 minutes.
- Customize fries by using different oils or seasoning variations like garlic powder or paprika.
