Homemade battered French Fries

Ingredients
2 1/2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1 teaspoon onion salt
1 teaspoon seasoned salt (I used Johnny's)
1 & 1/3 cup water, or as needed (I think next time I will try replacing the water with beer.)
1 cup vegetable oil for frying

Directions
*Peel and cut your potatoes into fries and place into water and refrigerate for 30 minutes or longer (up to 2 days).
*Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. While the oil is heating, sift the flour, garlic salt, onion salt and seasoned salt into a large bowl. Gradually stir in enough water so that the mixture can be drizzled from a spoon.
*Place fries into the oil shortly (until tender...not brown). Take the fries out and drain on paper bag or towel, allow to cool enough to handle.
*Dip potato slices into the batter one at a time, and place in the hot oil so they are not touching at first. The fries must be placed into the skillet one at a time, or they will clump together. Fry until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels. Salt immediately.
