Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into thin strips or wedges, about 1/4 inch thick. Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

  2. 2

    Dry the Potatoes

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

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  4. 4

    Fry the Potatoes

    Carefully add the potatoes in batches to the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes per batch. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Season the Fries

    While the fries are still hot, sprinkle them with salt, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper to taste.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the fries hot with your favorite dipping sauces.
