1
Prepare the Potatoes
Peel the potatoes and cut them into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick. Rinse the cut potatoes under cold water to remove excess starch, then pat them dry with a paper towel.
2
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
3
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add a batch of potato strips to the hot oil. Fry them for about 5-7 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove them with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
4
Season
While the fries are still hot, sprinkle them with salt, pepper, and paprika to taste. Toss to coat evenly.
5
Serve
Serve the French fries hot as a side dish or snack. Enjoy!
