Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut them into strips, about 1/4 inch thick.

Soak the Potatoes
Place the cut potato strips in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

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

Dry the Potatoes
Drain the soaked potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

Fry the Potatoes

Drain and Season
Remove the fries from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain. Sprinkle with salt, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper while they're still hot.
