Preparation Steps
- 1
Prepare the Potatoes
Peel the Russet potatoes and cut them into thin strips (about 1/4 inch thick). Soak the potato strips in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
- 2
Dry the Potatoes
After soaking, drain and dry the potato strips thoroughly using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a deep-frying thermometer to monitor the temperature.
- 4
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add the potato strips to the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove the fries and drain them on paper towels.
- 5
Season the Fries
While the fries are still hot, season them with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings like garlic powder or paprika.

Serve
Serve the French fries hot with your favorite dipping sauces.
