Method
Preparation
- 1
- 2
Soak the Potatoes
Place the cut potatoes into a large bowl of cold water and soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and will result in crispier fries.
Cooking
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a deep pot or fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.
- 4
Dry the Potatoes
Drain the soaked potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This will help prevent oil splatter.
- 5
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add a batch of the dried potato strips to the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

Season the Fries
While the fries are still hot, sprinkle them with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika to taste. Toss gently to ensure even coating.
