Preparation

Soak Potatoes
Place the cut potato strips in a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and makes the fries crispier.
Cooking
- 3
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). You can test the oil by dropping in a small piece of potato; it should sizzle immediately.

Dry the Potatoes
After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This step is crucial for achieving crispy fries.
- 5
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add a handful of dried potato strips to the hot oil, avoiding overcrowding. Fry them for about 5-7 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy, stirring occasionally.

Drain the Fries
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fries from the oil and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- 7
Season the Fries
While the fries are still hot, sprinkle them with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Toss gently to ensure even seasoning.
