Cut Potatoes into Fries
Using a sharp knife, cut each potato lengthwise into slices about 1/4 inch thick. Stack the slices and cut them again lengthwise to form fry-shaped pieces. Aim for uniform size for even cooking.
Frying

Heat the Oil
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer, pour in the vegetable oil and heat it over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to check the temperature.

Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add a batch of the cut fries to the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 5-7 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy.

Drain and Season
Using a slotted spoon, carefully remove the fries from the oil and drain them on a paper towel-lined plate. Immediately sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and paprika while they are still hot. Adjust the seasoning to your taste.

Repeat
Repeat the frying process with the remaining fries, ensuring the oil temperature remains consistent.
