1
Wash and Peel
Wash the Russet potatoes under cold water to remove any dirt and debris. Peel the skin off using a vegetable peeler.
2
Cut the Potatoes
Using a waffle cutter or a sharp knife, cut the potatoes into waffle-shaped fries. Aim for about 1/2 inch thickness.

3
Soak in Water
Place the cut fries in a large bowl of cold water. Let them soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch and improve crispiness.
4
Drain and Dry
After soaking, drain the fries and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

5
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).
6
Fry the Waffle Fries
Carefully add a batch of the waffle fries to the hot oil. Fry for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Do not overcrowd the pot.
7
Remove and Drain
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fries from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

8
Season the Fries
While the fries are still hot, sprinkle them with salt, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper. Toss gently to coat evenly.

9
Serve Hot
Serve the waffle fries hot as a snack or side dish. Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce!
