Cooking Instructions
- 1
Preparation
Peel the Russet potatoes and cut them into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick.
- 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
Drying
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels to remove as much moisture as possible.
- 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
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
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
Seasoning
While the fries are still hot, season them with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder if using. Toss to coat evenly.
- 8
Serving
Serve the fries immediately while hot and crispy.
