1
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick.
2
Soak Potatoes
Place the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and makes the fries crispier.
3
Dry the Potatoes
Drain the water and pat the potatoes dry with a clean towel to remove excess moisture.
4
Heat the Oil
In a deep fryer or large pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
5
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add a handful of dried potatoes to the hot oil. Fry them in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown.
6
Drain and Season
Remove the fries from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Immediately sprinkle with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika while still hot.
7
Serve
Serve the fries hot, and enjoy with your favorite dipping sauces.
