1
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut them into even strips, about 1/4 inch thick.
2
Soak the Potatoes
Place the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water and soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat them dry with a towel.

3
Heat the Oil
In a deep fryer or large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
4
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add the dried potato strips to the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 4-5 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
5
Drain and Season
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fries from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. While they are still hot, sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and any optional seasonings you desire.

6
Serve
Serve the French fries hot as a side dish or snack. Optionally, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese for added flavor.
