1. Peel the potatoes, cut them into pieces, and boil them in salted water until soft.
2. Drain the boiled potatoes and press them through a ricer to get a smooth mash.
3. Add olive oil, salt, sweet paprika, garlic powder, and pepper to the potato mash. Mix thoroughly.
4. Transfer the potato mixture to a plastic bag. Roll out the mixture into an even layer about 1 cm thick. Carefully cut strips from the layer to form the shape of fries.
5. Heat oil in a deep pan or pot to a temperature of 180°C.
6. Fry the fries in batches until they are golden and crispy. Remove them with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
7. Serve hot as a snack or as a side dish to your favorite meal. Enjoy them with your favorite condiments.
