Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into 1/4 inch thick sticks. Aim for uniform size to ensure even cooking.
Place the potato sticks in a large bowl and cover with cold water. Let them soak for 30 minutes to remove excess starch, which helps in achieving crispiness.
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels. It's essential to remove as much moisture as possible for a crispy fry.
In a small bowl, combine cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, ground black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Mix well to form a seasoning blend.
Toss the dried potato sticks in the seasoning mixture until all pieces are evenly coated.
In a large heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer, heat vegetable oil to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Use a thermometer to maintain a steady temperature.
Fry the potatoes in batches for about 3-4 minutes until they are light golden. Be careful not to overcrowd the pot to ensure even frying.
Remove the fries from the oil and drain on paper towels. Let them cool slightly.
Increase the oil temperature to 375Β°F (190Β°C).
Fry the potatoes again in batches for an additional 2-3 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the fries from the oil, drain on paper towels, and serve immediately.
