Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into uniform strips about 1/4 inch thick. Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

  2. 2

    Make the Seasoning Mix

    In a small bowl, combine salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper. Mix well to ensure even distribution.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can use a thermometer to check the temperature.

  2. 4

    Fry the Potatoes

    Once the oil is hot, carefully add a handful of soaked and drained potato strips to the pot. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 5-7 minutes or until the fries are golden brown and crispy.

  3. 5

    Drain the Fries

    Using a slotted spoon, remove the fries from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. While they are still hot, sprinkle the seasoning mix over the fries, tossing to coat evenly.

Serving

  1. 6

    Serve the Fries

    Transfer the seasoned fries to a serving platter. Optionally, garnish with chopped fresh parsley and grated Parmesan cheese. Serve with ketchup and hot sauce on the side.
