Method
Preparation
- 1
Wash and Cut Potatoes
Wash the Russet potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Cut each potato into long strips, about 1/4 inch thick, to make fries.
- 2
Soak Potatoes
Place the cut potato strips in a bowl of cold water. Let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and makes the fries crispier.
Cooking
- 3
Heat Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by dropping a small piece of potato in; if it sizzles, it's ready.
- 4
Dry Potatoes
After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- 5
Fry Potatoes
Carefully add a batch of the dried potato strips into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
- 6
Remove and Drain
Once cooked, use a slotted spoon to remove the fries from the pot and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Season Fries
While the fries are still hot, sprinkle them with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Toss to ensure even coating.
