1
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips, about 1/4 inch wide.
2
Soak the Potatoes
Place the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water and soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and makes the fries crispier.
3
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.
4
Fry the Potatoes
Drain the soaked potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels. Carefully add a handful of potatoes to the hot oil and fry in batches for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
5
Season the Fries
Remove the fries from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Season immediately with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
6
Garnish and Serve
Finely chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the hot fries. Serve immediately while hot.
