Cooking Instructions
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut them into thick slices (about 1/4 inch) and then cut those slices into fries.
Soak the Fries
Place the cut fries 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.
Dry the Fries
After soaking, drain the fries and pat them dry with a clean towel to remove any excess moisture.
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add the fries in batches to the hot oil. Fry for about 5-7 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove them with a slotted spoon and let them drain on paper towels.
Season the Fries
While the fries are still hot, season them with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika to taste.
Serve
Serve the hand-cut fries hot as a side dish or snack.
