Pour the oil into a large pot, to a depth of 2 to 3 inches, and heat to 375
degrees. Test by dropping in a piece of tortilla. If it bubbles immediately
and rises to the surface, the oil is ready.

Fry the wedges a handful at a time, stirring to separate, until very
lightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove with a strainer or slotted spoon,
shaking off excess oil, and transfer to paper towels to drain. Sprinkle
with salt while still warm, and continue frying in batches.
