Method
Directions
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into even strips, about 1/4 inch thick.
Soak the Potatoes
Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch. This helps achieve a crispier fry.
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
Fry the Potatoes
Drain and pat the potatoes dry with paper towels. Carefully add them to the hot oil in batches. Fry for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Season
While still hot, sprinkle the fries with salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder to taste.
Serve
Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces.
