1
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut them into fries, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
2
Soak the Fries
Place the cut fries in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps remove excess starch, resulting in crispier fries.

3
Heat the Oil
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or a deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to monitor the temperature for best results.
4
Dry the Fries
After soaking, drain the fries and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
5
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add a handful of fries to the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
6
Drain and Season
Remove the fries from the oil and drain them on paper towels. While still hot, sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and any optional seasonings like garlic powder or paprika.
7
Serve
Serve the fries hot, optionally topped with grated Parmesan cheese for added flavor.
