1
Peel and Chop Potatoes
Begin by peeling the potatoes. Cut them into even-sized cubes, approximately 1 inch in size to ensure even cooking.
2
Season the Potatoes
In a large bowl, combine the cubed potatoes with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Toss the potatoes until they are evenly coated with the seasoning.

3
Heat the Oil
In a large frying pan, add the vegetable oil and heat over medium-high heat until the oil is shimmering, about 5-7 minutes.
4
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add the seasoned potatoes to the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Turn occasionally for even cooking.
5
Add Additional Seasoning
In the last few minutes of frying, sprinkle garlic powder and onion powder over the potatoes, tossing gently to combine.
6
Drain and Serve
Once the potatoes are golden and crispy, remove them from the oil using a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve immediately while hot.
