Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut them into even sticks, about 1/4 inch thick.

Soak the Potatoes
Place the cut potato sticks in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch.

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

Drain and Season
Remove the fries from the oil and drain on paper towels. While still hot, season with salt, pepper, and paprika to taste.

Serve
