Wash and Cut Potatoes
Wash the Russet potatoes thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt. Cut each potato into thin strips (about 1/4 inch thick) to create fries.

Cooking

Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure the oil is at the right temperature.
- 4
Dry the Potatoes
After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, which can cause the oil to splatter.
- 5
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add a handful of the dried potato strips into the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the pot; fry in batches if necessary. Fry for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

Drain and Season
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fries from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil. While still hot, sprinkle with sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika to taste.
