Preparation

Soak the Potatoes
Place the cut potato strips into a large bowl filled with cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps remove excess starch and results in crispier fries.
Frying
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a large, deep pot or fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can use a thermometer to check the temperature.

Dry the Potatoes
After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. This step is crucial to avoid oil splatter during frying.

Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add small batches of the dried potato strips to the hot oil. Fry them for about 5-6 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pot.

Drain and Season
Once fried, use a slotted spoon to remove the fries from the oil and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Immediately sprinkle with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika to taste while still hot.
