Method

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut them into even strips, about 1/4 inch thick.

  2. 2

    Soak the Potatoes

    Place the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water and soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

  3. 3

    Dry the Potatoes

    Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels to remove as much moisture as possible.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

  5. 5

    Fry the Potatoes

    Carefully add the dried potato strips to the hot oil in batches. Fry for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

  6. 6

    Drain and Season

    Remove the fries from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. While they are still hot, season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to taste.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve the French fries hot with your favorite dipping sauces.
