1
Wash and Peel Potatoes
Start by washing the Russet potatoes under cold water to remove any dirt. Peel the potatoes using a vegetable peeler.
2
Cut Potatoes
Slice the peeled potatoes into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick, for even cooking. Soak the potato strips in a bowl of cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

3
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to check the temperature for accuracy.
4
Dry the Potatoes
After soaking, drain the potato strips and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to remove excess moisture.
5
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add the dried potato strips to the hot oil in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 3-4 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fries to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

6
Season the Fries
While the fries are still hot, sprinkle them with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to taste. Toss gently to ensure even coating of the seasoning.
