1
Wash and Cut Potatoes
Thoroughly wash the Russet potatoes under cold water to remove any dirt. Cut each potato into thin strips (about 1/4 inch thick) to create fries.
2
Soak Potatoes
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 will make the fries crispier.
3
Dry Potatoes
After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel to remove excess moisture.
4
Season Potatoes
In a bowl, toss the dried potato strips with salt and pepper to evenly coat them.

5
Heat Oil
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to check the temperature.
6
Fry Potatoes
Carefully add a batch of potato strips to the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil.
7
Drain Excess Oil
Place the fried potatoes on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil. Repeat the frying process with the remaining batches of potatoes.
8
Serve
Once all the fries are fried and drained, serve them hot with your favorite dipping sauce or toppings.
