Ingredients
Potatoes
Oil
Seasoning
Preparation
1. Wash and Peel Potatoes
Thoroughly wash the Russet potatoes under cool running water. Peel the potatoes using a vegetable peeler and cut them into sticks, about 1/4 inch thick.
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.
