Preparation

Prepare the Potatoes
Peel and wash the potatoes. Cut them into thin slices or wedges, ensuring they are roughly the same size for even cooking.

Cooking
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a large frying pan or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test if the oil is ready by dropping a slice of potato in; it should sizzle.
- 4
Dry the Potatoes
After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel to remove excess moisture.
- 5
Season the Potatoes
In a large bowl, toss the dried potato slices with salt, black pepper, paprika, and optional garlic powder until evenly coated.
- 6
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add the seasoned potato slices to the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry them for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

Drain and Serve
Once fried, remove the potatoes from the oil and drain them on a paper towel-lined plate. If desired, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the hot potatoes before serving.
