Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut them into fries by slicing them into long, thin strips.

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

Dry the Fries
After soaking, drain the fries and pat them dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.

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

Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add the dried fries to the hot oil in batches. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

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