Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and scrub the russet potatoes thoroughly. Peel them if desired, but leaving the skin on adds texture and flavor.
- 2
Cut the Potatoes
Cut the potatoes into even-sized strips, about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick, to ensure even cooking.
- 3
Soak the Potatoes
Place the cut fries in a bowl of cold water and soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch. This helps in achieving a crispier fry.

Preheat the Oil
In a deep fryer or a large pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
- 5
Dry the Potatoes
Drain the soaked fries and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add the dried fries to the hot oil in small batches. Fry for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

Drain and Season
Remove the fries from the oil and drain on paper towels. While still hot, season with salt, black pepper, and paprika to taste.
