Preparation

Soak the Fries
Place the cut fries in a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and results in crispier fries.
Cooking
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a large heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure the right temperature.

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

Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add a handful of fries to the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 4-6 minutes until golden brown, stirring occasionally for even cooking.

Drain the Fries
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fries from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb 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.
