1
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the Russet potatoes, then cut them into thick strips, approximately 1/4 inch wide.
2
Soak the Potatoes
Place the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch.
3
Dry the Potatoes
After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
4
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
5
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add a handful of the dried potato strips to the hot oil, being cautious not to overcrowd the pot. Fry them until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
6
Drain and Season
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fries from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. While still hot, sprinkle with salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder to taste.
7
Serve
Serve the O.G. Fries hot and enjoy!
