1
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into even strips about 1/4 inch thick to ensure they cook evenly.
2
Soak the Potatoes
Place the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and results in crispier fries.
3
Dry the Potatoes
After soaking, drain the water and lay the potatoes on a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Pat them dry thoroughly to remove excess moisture.
4
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure the oil reaches the right temperature.
5
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add a handful of the dried potato strips to the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 5-7 minutes 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 paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. While they are still hot, sprinkle with salt, paprika, and garlic powder.
7
Serve
Serve the fries hot as a side dish or snack. Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce.
