Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Preparation

    Peel the Russet potatoes and cut them into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick.

  2. 2

    Soaking

    Soak the potato strips in cold water for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and makes the fries crispier.

  3. 3

    Drying

    Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels to remove as much moisture as possible.

  4. 4

    Heating the Oil

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

  5. 5

    Frying

    Carefully add a handful of potato strips to the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

  6. 6

    Draining

    Use a slotted spoon to remove the fries from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

  7. 7

    Seasoning

    While the fries are still hot, season them with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder if using. Toss to coat evenly.

  8. 8

    Serving

    Serve the fries immediately while hot and crispy.
