1
Peel and Cut Potatoes
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into thin strips, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
2
Soak Potatoes
Place the cut potato strips in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps remove excess starch and makes the fries crispier.

3
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
4
Dry the Potatoes
After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
5
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add a batch of the dried potato strips into the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
6
Drain and Season
Once cooked, use a slotted spoon to remove the fries from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Immediately season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika to taste.

7
Serve Hot
Serve the crispy golden fries hot as a side dish. Enjoy them with your favorite dipping sauces.
