1
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut them into small cubes or wedges, about 1-inch in size.
2
Soak the Potatoes (Optional)
Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes to remove excess starch, then drain and pat them dry.
3
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot.
4
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add the potatoes to the hot oil in a single layer. Fry for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy.
5
Add Onions and Seasoning
Add chopped onions to the skillet during the last 5 minutes of frying. Season with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper to taste.
6
Drain and Serve
Once cooked, remove the potatoes from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Serve hot.
