1
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut them into small cubes or strips, about 1/2 inch thick.
2
Soak the Potatoes
Place the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
3
Drain and Dry
After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
4
Preheat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
5
Fry the Potatoes
Add the potatoes to the skillet in a single layer. Fry for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy.
6
Add Onions and Seasoning
During the last 5 minutes of cooking, add diced onions, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to taste. Stir well to combine.
7
Serve
Once the potatoes are cooked and crispy, remove them from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Serve warm.
