1️⃣ Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the potatoes.
Cut them into thin fry-shaped strips.
Try to keep them the same size so they cook evenly.
2️⃣ Soak the Potatoes
Place the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water for 20–30 minutes.
This removes excess starch and helps make the fries extra crispy.
Drain and dry the potatoes well with paper towels.
3️⃣ Heat the Oil
Pour the oil into a deep frying pan or pot.
Heat the oil to 350°F (175°C).
The oil should be hot but not smoking.
4️⃣ First Fry
Add the potatoes in small batches.
Fry for 4–5 minutes until they are soft but not fully golden.
Remove them from the oil and let them rest for 5 minutes.
5️⃣ Second Fry
Return the fries to the hot oil.
Fry again for 2–3 minutes until they become golden brown and crispy.
6️⃣ Season the Fries
Place the fries on paper towels to drain excess oil.
Sprinkle with salt, paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, and onion powder while still hot.
Toss gently so the seasoning coats all the fries.
