1
Cut the Potatoes
Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into thin strips or wedges, ensuring they are of even thickness for uniform cooking.
2
Soak the Potatoes
Soak the potato strips in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch. This will help them become crispy when fried.
3
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
4
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add the soaked potato strips to the hot oil in batches. Fry them for 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove the fries with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt while hot.

5
Sauté the Onions and Jalapenos
In a skillet over medium heat, add a small amount of oil if desired. Sauté the sliced onions until they become translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the sliced jalapenos and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until they are tender.
6
Season the Mixture
Sprinkle garlic powder and paprika over the sautéed onions and jalapenos. Stir well to combine and cook for another minute to allow the flavors to meld.
7
Garnish with Cilantro
Remove from heat and stir in the chopped cilantro. This will add freshness to the topping.

8
Serve the Fries
Place a generous serving of the crispy fries on a plate or in a serving bowl. Top with the sautéed onion and jalapeno mixture.

Serve immediately while hot, and enjoy your delicious Spanish fries!
