Preparing the Potatoes

Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into thin strips of uniform size to ensure even cooking. Soak them in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch, which helps in achieving a crispier texture after frying.

Frying the French Fries

Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a deep pan till it reaches about 350°F (175°C). Remove the potato strips from the water and thoroughly dry them with a kitchen towel. Fry the potatoes in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan, until they are golden brown and crisp. Drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil.

Seasoning

While the fries are still hot, season them with salt and any additional seasoning spices like paprika or garlic powder. Toss them well to ensure an even coating of the seasoning.
