Step 1
Peel the potatoes and cut into large cubes. Keep peeled and chopped potatoes in cold water as you work.
Step 2
Boil a large pot of salted water and add the potatoes. Boil until the potatoes are fork tender, approximately 15 - 20 minutes. Remove the potatoes from the boiling water and rinse in cool water. Allow to drain of all water.
Step 3
Mash the potatoes well until they are smooth, adding salt and pepper to taste. The potatoes should also be quite stiff and easily stick together when pressed.
Step 4
Cover a jelly roll pan with aluminum foil and spread the mashed potatoes on the pan into a layer that is about 2 centimeters thick. It should not completely cover the pan. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour.
Step 5
Cut use a sharp knife to cut out the fries. Gently pull them apart, being careful to not break them.
Step 6
Place the flour, eggs, and bread crumbs into three separate bowls. Lightly salt each of the bowls.
Step 7
Heat oil in a deep fryer according to manufacturer instructions. Place layers of paper towels under a wire rack.
Step 8
Working in batches, dip the fries in the flour, then the beaten eggs, and finally the bread crumbs in that order. Fry them for about 2 - 3 minutes, or until golden brown. Transfer the fries to the wire rack.
Step 9
Top with more salt while they are still hot, and serve hot with a dipping sauce of your choice!
