1
Wash and Peel the Potatoes
Start by thoroughly washing the Russet potatoes under cold water to remove any dirt. Once clean, peel the potatoes using a vegetable peeler.
2
Cut the Potatoes
After peeling, slice the potatoes into even strips, about 1/4 inch thick, to ensure they cook evenly. Place the cut fries in a bowl of cold water to prevent browning.

3
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, pour in the vegetable oil and heat it to 350°F (175°C). Use a kitchen thermometer to monitor the temperature.
4
Dry the Potatoes
While the oil is heating, remove the fries from the water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to remove excess moisture.
5
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add a batch of fries to the hot oil, being cautious not to overcrowd the pot. Fry the potatoes for about 5-7 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
6
Drain and Season
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 salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika over the fries to taste.
7
Serve
Once all the fries are cooked and seasoned, serve them hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
