1
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut them into evenly sized sticks, about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick.
2
Soak the Potatoes
Place the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
3
Dry the Potatoes
Drain the water and pat the potatoes dry with a clean kitchen towel.
4
Heat the Oil
In a deep fryer or heavy pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
5
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add the dried potato sticks to the hot oil in batches, without overcrowding. Fry for about 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown.
6
Drain and Season
Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fries to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika while still hot.
7
Serve
Serve the fries hot, optionally with your favorite dipping sauces.
