Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel the potatoes and cut them into even sticks, about 1/4 inch thick.

  2. 2

    Soak the Potatoes

    Place the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

  3. 3

    Dry the Potatoes

    Drain the water and pat the potato sticks dry with a clean kitchen towel.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

  5. 5

    Fry the Potatoes

    Carefully add the potato sticks to the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for 4-5 minutes or until golden brown.

  6. 6

    Drain and Season

    Remove the fries from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. While still hot, sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to taste.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve the French fries hot with your favorite dipping sauces.
