Potato Preparation

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut them into thick fries, about 1/2 inch in width.

  2. 2

    Soak the Fries

    Place the cut fries in a bowl of cold water and soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and makes them crispier.

  3. 3

    Dry the Fries

    After soaking, drain the fries and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  5. 5

    Fry the Potatoes

    Carefully add the fries in batches to the hot oil. Fry for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

  6. 6

    Drain and Season

    Using a slotted spoon, remove the fries from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to taste.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve the fries hot as a side dish or snack.
