1
Prepare the Potatoes
Peel the potatoes and cut them into thin slices or sticks, about 1/4 inch thick. Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
2
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.
3
Fry the Potatoes
Drain the soaked potatoes and pat them dry with a clean towel. Carefully add a batch of potatoes to the hot oil, frying for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown. Do not overcrowd the pot.
4
Drain and Season
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fries from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Immediately season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
5
Serve
Serve the French fries hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
