When oil is heated, drain fries and thoroughly pat dry with paper towels. Add 1/3 of the fries to oil and cook until browned and cooked through, about 4 to 5 minutes. Remove fries to paper towels with a slotted spoon and season immediately with kosher salt. Return oil to 350 degrees F and repeat with remaining fries. Hold in oven until ready to serve.
