Preparation

Cutting the Potatoes
Wash the Russet potatoes thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt. Cut each potato lengthwise into 1/4 inch thick slices, and then cut those slices into 1/4 inch thick fries. You should have about 4 cups of fries.

Heating the Oil
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer, pour in the vegetable oil. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.

Frying the Fries
Once the oil is hot, carefully add a handful of cut fries into the oil, being cautious not to overcrowd the pot. Fry the fries for about 4-5 minutes or until they turn golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.

Seasoning the Fries
While the fries are still hot, sprinkle salt, black pepper, and garlic powder evenly over them. Toss gently to ensure all fries are coated with the seasoning.
