Method
Preparing the Potatoes
- 1
Wash and Cut
Thoroughly wash the Russet potatoes under cold running water to remove any dirt. Cut each potato into even-sized strips, approximately 1/4 inch thick, to ensure even cooking.
- 2
Soak the Fries
Place the cut potato strips in a large bowl filled with cold water. Let them soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch, which helps to achieve crispiness.
Cooking the Fries

Drain and Dry
After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. This step is crucial for achieving crispy fries.

Season the Fries
In a large mixing bowl, combine the dried potato strips with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Toss until all the fries are evenly coated with the seasoning.

Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature is important for baking crispy fries.

Bake the Fries
Spread the seasoned potato strips in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.

Serve
Once baked, remove the fries from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve hot and enjoy your house cut fries with your favorite dipping sauce.
