Preparation

Preparation

1. Prepare the Potatoes

Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut them into even-sized strips, about 1/4 inch thick.

2. Soak the Potatoes

Place the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water and soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat dry.

3. Heat the Oil

In a large heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

4. Fry the Potatoes

Carefully add the dry potato strips to the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

5. Drain and Season

Using a slotted spoon, remove the fries and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. While still hot, sprinkle with salt, paprika, and garlic powder to taste.

6. Serve

Serve the fries immediately while hot, either plain or with your favorite dipping sauces.
