Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into thin strips, about 1/4 inch wide.

  2. 2

    Soak the Potatoes

    Place the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

  3. 3

    Dry the Potatoes

    Drain the soaked potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel to remove any moisture.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

  5. 5

    Fry the Potatoes

    Carefully add a handful of the dried potato strips to the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Season the Fries

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

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve the fries hot, either on their own or with your favorite dipping sauce.
