1
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips or wedges, depending on your preference. Place the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
2
Dry the Potatoes
After soaking, drain the water and pat the potato strips dry with a clean towel. This will help them crisp up during frying.
3
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a kitchen thermometer for accuracy.

4
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add a batch of dried potato strips to the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
5
Season the Fries
While the fries are still hot, sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Toss gently to coat evenly.

6
Add Optional Toppings
If desired, sprinkle the fries with grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, garlic powder, and paprika for added flavor.
7
Serve
Serve the fries hot in a basket or on a plate, and enjoy with your favorite dipping sauces!
