1
Peel and Cut Potatoes
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into even strips, about 1/4 inch thick. This ensures they cook evenly.
2
Soak Potatoes
Place the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and results in crispier fries.
3
Dry Potatoes
After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel to remove excess moisture.

4
Heat Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.
5
Fry Potatoes
Carefully add a batch of potatoes to the hot oil. Fry them for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Do not overcrowd the pot.
6
Remove and Drain
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fries from the oil and drain them on a plate lined with paper towels. Sprinkle with salt immediately.

7
Add Seasoning
If desired, toss the hot fries with paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper for extra flavor.
