1
Prep the Potatoes
Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick, to mimic traditional fries.
2
Soak the Fries
Place the cut fries in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and makes for crispier fries.

3
Heat the Oil
In a deep pot or fryer, pour in the vegetable oil and heat it to 350°F (175°C) over medium heat.
4
Fry the Potatoes
Once the oil is hot, drain the soaked fries and pat them dry with a towel. Carefully add the fries in batches to the hot oil, frying for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
5
Drain and Season
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fries from the oil and drain them on a paper towel-lined plate. While they are still hot, sprinkle Old Bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper over the fries to taste.
6
Serve
Serve the Old Bay fries hot as a side dish or snack. Enjoy!
