1
Preparing the Potatoes
Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick, and soak in cold water for 30 minutes.
2
Frying the Fries
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a paper towel. Fry the potatoes in batches for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.
3
Seasoning
While the fries are still hot, sprinkle with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste.
4
Adding Funky Toppings
Top the fries with your choice of funky toppings such as cheddar cheese, jalapeños, bacon bits, sour cream, and green onions.
