1
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut them into thick slices or wedges, about 1/2 inch thick.
2
Soak the Potatoes
Place the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water and soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat them dry with paper towels.
3
Heat the Oil
In a deep fryer or heavy pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
4
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add the dried potato slices into the hot oil in batches. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes per batch.
5
Season the Fries
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried potatoes and drain on paper towels. While still hot, sprinkle generously with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
6
Serve
Serve hot and enjoy your French Fried Potaters!
