Cut the Potatoes
Cut each potato into long strips, about 1/4 inch thick. Aim for uniformity to ensure even cooking.
Cooking

Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan or a heavy pot, pour in the vegetable oil. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add a handful of the cut potato strips into the hot oil. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry the potatoes for about 5-7 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.

Remove and Drain
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fries from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.

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