- 1
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into desired thickness for fries, usually about 1/4 inch thick.

Soak the Fries
Soak the cut fries in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch. This helps achieve crispiness.

Dry the Fries
Drain and pat the fries dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

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

Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add the fries in batches to the hot oil. Fry for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
- 6
Drain and Season
Remove fries from the oil and drain on paper towels. While still hot, season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika to taste.
- 7
Serve
Serve the hand-cut fries hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
