Method
Preparation
Prepare the Potatoes
Peel the Russet potatoes and cut them into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick.
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, 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
Carefully add a handful of fries to the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 3-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Season the Fries
While the fries are still hot, sprinkle them with salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder to taste.
Serve
Serve the thin cut pencil fries hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
