Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into uniform fries, about 1/4 inch thick for even cooking.

Place the cut fries in a bowl of cold water and soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps remove excess starch and makes the fries crispier.

After soaking, drain the fries and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel. This step is crucial to avoid splattering when frying.

In a large pot or deep fryer, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.

Carefully add a handful of fries to the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 4-5 minutes or until golden brown.

Using a slotted spoon, remove the fries from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

While the fries are still hot, sprinkle them with nori flakes and sea salt, tossing gently to coat evenly.

In a mixing bowl, combine ketchup, mayonnaise, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and hot sauce. Stir until well blended.

Taste the fry sauce and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Add more hot sauce for extra heat or more ketchup for sweetness.
