Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut them into evenly sized sticks, about 1/4 inch thick.

  2. 2

    Soak the Potatoes

    Place the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water and soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and makes the fries crispier.

  3. 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. 4

    Dry the Potatoes

    Drain the soaked potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel to remove excess moisture.

  5. 5

    Fry the Potatoes

    Carefully add the dried potato sticks to the hot oil in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for 5-7 minutes or until golden brown.

  6. 6

    Drain and Season

    Using a slotted spoon, remove the fries from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain. While still hot, season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika to taste.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve the French fries hot with your favorite dipping sauces.
