Peel and cut the potatoes into strips.

Dry the potatoes with a towel to remove excess moisture.

In a bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with salt and coat the potatoes with this mixture.

Let the potatoes sit for about 2-3 hours to absorb the cornstarch and salt.

Prepare a second batch of potatoes with paprika, black pepper, and garlic powder, also coated with cornstarch.

Heat oil in a pan over medium-low heat.

Fry the potatoes for about 20 minutes, using a fork to help separate them during cooking.

Once golden and crispy, remove the potatoes from the oil.
