Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cut the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the russet potatoes. 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, then drain and pat dry.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat the Oil

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

  2. 4

    Fry the Potatoes

    Carefully add the potato strips in batches to the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-5 minutes.

  3. 5

    Season the Fries

    Remove the fries from the oil and drain on paper towels. While still hot, season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
