Prepare the Potatoes

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.

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.
