1
Wash and Cut Potatoes
Wash the Russet potatoes thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt. Peel the potatoes if desired, then cut them into thin strips, about 1/4 inch wide, to resemble fries.
2
Soak Potatoes
Place the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps remove excess starch and will make the fries crispier.

3
Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it's hot enough to cook the fries evenly.
4
Drain and Dry Potatoes
After soaking, drain the potatoes and spread them out on a clean kitchen towel. Pat them dry to remove excess moisture.
5
Season the Fries
In a large mixing bowl, combine the dried potatoes with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and any optional seasonings you wish to add (garlic powder, paprika, Parmesan cheese). Toss until all the fries are evenly coated.
6
Bake the Fries
Spread the fries out in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
7
Serve
Once the fries are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve warm, optionally garnished with additional salt or Parmesan cheese.
