Soak the Potatoes
Place the cut potato sticks in a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and makes the fries crispier.
Cooking
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a deep fryer or a large, heavy-bottomed pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure the oil reaches the right temperature for frying.

Dry the Potatoes
After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel. This step is crucial to prevent oil splatter during frying.

Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add a handful of the dried potato sticks to the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry in batches for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove the fries and let them drain on paper towels.

Season the Fries
While the fries are still hot, sprinkle them with salt, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper to taste. Toss gently to coat the fries evenly.
