Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel the potatoes and cut them into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick.

  2. 2

    Soak the Potatoes

    Soak the potato strips in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat dry.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

  4. 4

    Fry the Potatoes

    Carefully add the potato strips in batches to the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes per batch.

  5. 5

    Drain and Season

    Using a slotted spoon, remove the fries from the oil and drain on paper towels. Season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika while still hot. Toss to coat evenly.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the fries hot with your favorite dipping sauces.
