1
Prepare the Potatoes
Peel the Russet potatoes and cut them into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick. Rinse the potato strips in cold water to remove excess starch.
2
Soak the Potatoes
Place the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour. This will help to make them crispier when fried.
3
Dry the Potatoes
After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
4
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
5
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add a batch of the potato strips to the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
6
Drain and Season
Remove the fries from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. While they are still hot, sprinkle with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika to taste.
7
Serve
Serve the fries hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
