Method
Preparation

- 2
Soak Potatoes
Place the cut potato sticks in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and achieve a crispier fry.
Cooking
- 3
Heat Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can use a thermometer to check the temperature.
- 4
Dry Potatoes
After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This prevents splattering when frying.
- 5
Fry Potatoes
Carefully add a handful of potato sticks to the hot oil. Fry them in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 5-7 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- 6
Drain and Season
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fries from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Season immediately with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste.
