Step 1
Cut Potato into ½ inch thick sticks or your desired thickness. Keep in mind the potatoes do shrink as you cook them.
Step 2
Soak the potatoes into ice-cold water for 30 minutes.
Step 3
Add salt and water (enough to cover all the potatoes) to a large pot, and bring it to a simmer.
Step 4
Add the potatoes and blanch for 3-5 minutes; you want the potato to be 50% cooked.
Step 5
Pat dry the fries with a paper towel and coat the fries with a thin layer of corn starch.

Heat oil in the pan to 320 F. and add in ⅓ of fries. Deep fry for 3 minutes, remove and repeat the process with the remainder fries.
Step 7
Turn the heat up to high ~ 380 F and double fry for another 3-4 minutes or until crispy and golden brown.
Step 8
Season the fries with salt and pepper seasoning, chopping cilantro and green onion, and enjoy!
