Cooking Instructions
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into thin strips to form fries.
Soak the Fries
Place the cut fries in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps remove excess starch.
Drain and Dry
After soaking, drain the fries and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add a handful of fries to the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
Drain and Season
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fries and drain them on paper towels. While still hot, sprinkle with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste.
Serve
Serve the fries hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
