Cut potatoes into sticks of uniform size. Submerge in a bowl of cold water for a minimum of 20 minutes.
Drain the potatoes, rinse under cold running water, and dry completely with a clean cloth or paper towels.
In a large bowl, combine the dried potato sticks with oil, garlic powder, and paprika. Toss to coat evenly.

"Avoid salting the potatoes prior to cooking. Salt extracts moisture, which inhibits crisping. Season immediately after cooking is complete."
