Preparation

- 2
Soak the Potatoes
Place the potato strips into a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and results in crispier fries.
Frying
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a large, heavy pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to accurately measure the temperature.
- 4
Dry the Potatoes
After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels. This is crucial to prevent oil splattering during frying.
- 5
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add a handful of potato strips to the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 5-6 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove the fries and drain them on paper towels.

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