Soak Potatoes
Place the cut potato strips into a large bowl of cold water. Let them soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch, which helps in achieving a crispier fry.
Cooking

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 for accuracy.

Dry Potatoes
After soaking, drain the potato strips and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add a batch of potato strips to the hot oil. Fry for about 5-7 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Do not overcrowd the pot; fry in batches if necessary.

Drain and Season
Once fried, use a slotted spoon to transfer the fries to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. While they are still hot, sprinkle with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika, tossing gently to coat.
