Method
Preparation
- 1
Wash and Cut Potatoes
Thoroughly wash the russet potatoes under cold water to remove any dirt. Cut them into even sticks, about 1/4 inch thick, to ensure they cook evenly.
- 2
Soak Potatoes
Place the cut potatoes in a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and results in crispier fries.
Cooking
- 3
Preheat Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- 4
Dry Potatoes
After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels. This step is crucial to avoid oil splatter and to achieve crispy fries.
- 5
Fry Potatoes
Carefully add the dried potato sticks to the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove the fries and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels.

Season Fries
While the fries are still hot, sprinkle the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and dried oregano over them. Toss gently to ensure even coating.
- 7
Serve
Serve the seasoned fries hot as a side dish or snack. Enjoy!
