1
Wash and Peel Potatoes
Thoroughly wash the Russet potatoes under cold water. Use a vegetable peeler to remove the skin and then rinse again.
2
Cut Potatoes into Fries
Cut the peeled potatoes into evenly sized strips, about 1/4 inch thick, to ensure they cook evenly.

3
Soak the Cut 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.

4
Heat the Oil
In a large, deep pot or fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to check the temperature.
5
Dry and Fry the Potatoes
Drain the soaked fries and pat them dry with paper towels. Carefully add a handful of fries to the hot oil. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown.
6
Drain and Season
Once cooked, remove the fries from the oil using a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. While still hot, sprinkle with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
