Preparation

Preparation

1. Prepare the Potatoes

Peel the Russet potatoes and cut them into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick.

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 makes the fries crispier.

3. Heat the Oil

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

4. Dry the Potatoes

Drain the soaked potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

5. Fry the Potatoes

Carefully add a handful of fries to the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 3-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

6. Season the Fries

While the fries are still hot, sprinkle them with salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder to taste.

7. Serve

Serve the thin cut pencil fries hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
