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

Soak the Fries

Carefully add the dried fries to the hot oil in batches, frying them for about 5-7 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.

Season the Fries
Remove the fries from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. While still hot, sprinkle with salt, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper to taste.
