Method
Preparation
Peel and Cut the Potatoes
Peel the russet potatoes and then cut them into 1/4 inch thick strips. Soak the potato strips in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
Dry the Potatoes
After soaking, drain the water and thoroughly pat the potato strips dry with a paper towel to remove moisture.
Cooking
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add the dried potato strips in small batches to the hot oil. Fry for about 5-7 minutes per batch, or until they turn golden brown and crispy.
Drain and Season
Once fried, remove the fries from the oil using a slotted spoon and drain them on paper towels. While they are still hot, sprinkle with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika to taste.
Serving
Serve the French Fries
Serve the French fries hot as a side dish or snack. Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauces!
