Soak Potatoes
Place the cut potato sticks in a large bowl of cold water and soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch. This helps achieve a crispier fry.
Cooking

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

Dry the Potatoes
After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to remove excess moisture.

Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add a batch of the dried potato sticks to the hot oil. Fry them for about 5-7 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Do not overcrowd the pot.

Drain and Season
Remove the fries from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Immediately sprinkle with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika while they are still hot.
