Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into even-sized strips, about 1/4 inch thick.
- 2
Soak the Potatoes
Place the cut potatoes in a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch.
- 3
Dry the Potatoes
Drain the soaked potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels to remove as much moisture as possible.
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a deep pot or fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). You can use a thermometer to check the temperature.

Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add a batch of the dried potato strips into the hot oil. Fry for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

Season the Fries
While the fries are still hot, sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and paprika to taste. Toss to ensure even coating.
