Method
Preparation
- 1
Peel and Cut Potatoes
Peel the russet potatoes using a vegetable peeler. Cut each potato into thin strips, approximately 1/4 inch thick. Place the cut potatoes in a large bowl of cold water to prevent browning.
- 2
Soak Potatoes
Let the cut potatoes soak in cold water for at least 30 minutes. This will help remove excess starch and make the fries crispier.
Frying
- 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). Use a thermometer to check the temperature for accurate frying.
- 4
Dry the Potatoes
After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels. This step is crucial to avoid splattering when frying.
- 5
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add a batch of the dried potato strips to the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the pot. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the fries and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
- 6
Season the Fries
While the fries are still hot, season them immediately with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Toss gently to coat evenly.
- 7
Repeat Frying
Continue frying the remaining batches of potatoes, making sure to allow the oil to return to temperature between batches.

Serve Hot
Serve the French fries hot as a side dish or snack. Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauces.
