Method
Preparation

- 2
Cut Potatoes into Fries
Cut each potato into even strips, approximately 1/4 inch thick, to ensure they cook evenly.
Soaking
- 3
Soak the Cut Potatoes
Place the cut fries into a large bowl and cover them with cold water. Let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and will lead to crispier fries.
Frying
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot (or deep fryer), heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). You can use a thermometer to check the temperature.

Dry the Potatoes
After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels. Removing excess moisture is key to achieving crispy fries.
- 6
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add a batch of fries (do not overcrowd) to the hot oil. Fry for about 5-7 minutes, or until they turn golden brown. Remove and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.

Season the Fries
While the fries are still hot, sprinkle them with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika to taste. Toss gently to coat evenly.
