Preparing the Potatoes

Cut into Fries
Cut the peeled potatoes into thin strips, aiming for uniform thickness to ensure even cooking. Soak the cut fries in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
Frying the Fries
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can use a thermometer to check the temperature.

Dry the Fries
After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This step is crucial for achieving crispy fries.
- 5
Fry in Batches
Carefully add a batch of fries to the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 4-5 minutes or until the fries are golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and transfer to a plate lined with paper towels.
Seasoning the Fries

Season Immediately
While the fries are still hot, sprinkle them with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Toss gently to coat evenly.
