Potato Preparation

Method
Frying the Potatoes
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into evenly sized strips, about 1/4 inch thick.
Soak the Potatoes
Place the cut potato strips in a bowl of cold water. Soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
Preheat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Dry the Potatoes
Drain the soaked potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add the dried potato strips to the hot oil in batches, frying for about 5-7 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Drain and Season
Use a slotted spoon to remove the fries from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels. While still hot, season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Serving Suggestions
Add Optional Toppings
If desired, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley over the fries before serving. Offer ketchup and mayonnaise on the side for dipping.
