1
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Using a curly fry cutter or spiralizer, cut the potatoes into curly fry shapes. If you don't have a curly cutter, you can cut them into thin wedges or strips.
2
Soak the Curly Fries
Place the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and makes the fries crispier.

3
Heat the Oil
In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can use a kitchen thermometer to check the temperature.
4
Drain and Dry the Potatoes
After soaking, drain the curly fries and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This is crucial for achieving crispy fries.
5
Fry the Curly Fries
Carefully add a handful of curly fries to the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry them for about 4-5 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove them with a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.

6
Mix the Seasoning
In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using).
7
Season the Fries
Once the curly fries are cooked and still hot, sprinkle the seasoning mixture over them and toss to coat evenly.
