Method
Preparation
- 1
Cut the Potatoes
Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut them into strips about 1/4 inch thick to create natural cut fries.
- 2
Soak the Fries
Place the cut fries in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
- 3
Dry the Fries
Drain the soaked fries and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel to remove as much moisture as possible.

Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
- 5
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add a batch of fries to the hot oil and fry until they are golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove them with a slotted spoon and let them drain on paper towels.

Season the Fries
While the fries are still hot, sprinkle them with salt, pepper, and paprika to taste.
