Drain ice water from cut fries and wrap potatos in a clean tea towel and thoroughly pat dry.

Increase the heat to medium-high and add fries, a handful at a time, to the hot oil.

Fry, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are soft and limp, about 10 minutes.

Using a slotted spoon or sieve, carefully remove fries from the oil and set aside to drain on paper towels.

Let rest for 10 - 20 minutes or so.

Hey, what should I let them rest on? Is it like bacon how you have to put something between it and the plate or can I just set them on a plate?

I recommend paper towels. If you have a draining rack, then go for it!
