1
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into thin strips to create fry shapes.
2
Soak the Potatoes
Place the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
3
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
4
Fry the Potatoes
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a paper towel. Carefully add them to the hot oil in batches, frying for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown.
5
Season the Fries
Remove the fries from the oil and drain on paper towels. While still hot, sprinkle with salt, paprika, and garlic powder to taste.

6
Rinse the Rice
Rinse the long grain rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
7
Combine Ingredients
In a pot, combine the rinsed rice, water, salt, and butter.
8
Cook the Rice
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 18-20 minutes or until the water is absorbed.
9
Fluff and Serve
Remove the pot from heat and let it sit covered for an additional 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork before serving.
