1
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick, to create fries.
2
Soak the Fries
Place the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps remove excess starch and makes them crispier.
3
Preheat the Oil
In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
4
Fry the Potatoes
Drain the soaked potatoes and pat them dry with a paper towel. Carefully add the fries to the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
5
Season the Fries
Remove the fries from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Immediately sprinkle with salt and black pepper to taste.

6
Choose Your Dipping Sauce
Select your preferred dipping sauce from ketchup, ranch dressing, or cheddar cheese sauce. You can serve them in small bowls alongside the fries.
