1
Prepare the potatoes
Wash the Russet potatoes thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt. Peel the potatoes if desired, then cut them into uniform sticks, about 1/4 inch thick.
2
Soak the potatoes
Place the cut potatoes into a large bowl filled with cold water. Let them soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch, which helps achieve a crispier fry.
3
Dry the potatoes
After soaking, drain the water and lay the potato sticks on a clean kitchen towel. Pat them dry thoroughly to prevent excess moisture during frying.
4
Heat the oil
In a large heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to check the temperature for accuracy.
5
Fry the potatoes
Carefully add a batch of the dried potato sticks to the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 4-5 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove the fries and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
6
Season the fries
Immediately sprinkle the hot fries with salt, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper while they are still hot to enhance the flavor. Toss gently to coat evenly.
7
Serve
Serve the fries hot with your favorite dipping sauce or enjoy them plain. Repeat the frying process for any remaining potato sticks.
