1
Peel and Cut Potatoes
Peel the Russet potatoes and cut them into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick. Rinse the cut potatoes under cold water to remove excess starch.
2
Soak Potatoes
Soak the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water for at least 30 minutes. This helps to make them crispy when fried.

3
Heat Oil
In a deep pot or fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Ensure there’s enough oil to fully submerge the fries.
4
Dry and Fry Potatoes
After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels. Fry them in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Cook for 5-7 minutes or until golden brown.
5
Drain and Season
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fries from the oil and drain them on paper towels. While still hot, sprinkle the fries with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika to taste.
