1
Wash and Peel Potatoes
Begin by thoroughly washing the Russet potatoes under cold running water to remove any dirt. Peel the potatoes using a vegetable peeler.
2
Cut into Fries
Cut the peeled potatoes into evenly sized strips, about 1/4 inch thick, to ensure even cooking.
3
Soak in Water
Place the cut fries into a bowl of cold water and soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps remove excess starch and allows for crispier fries.

4
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to check the temperature.
5
Dry the Potatoes
After soaking, drain the fries and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
6
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add a batch of fries to the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 5-7 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
7
Drain and Season
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fries from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Immediately sprinkle with salt and any optional seasonings like garlic powder, paprika, or black pepper.
