Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips or desired fry shape.

  2. 2

    Soak the Potatoes

    Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

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

  4. 4

    Fry the Potatoes

    Drain and pat the soaked potatoes dry. Carefully add a handful of fries to the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown and crispy.

  5. 5

    Drain and Season

    Remove the fries from the oil and drain on paper towels. While they are still hot, season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to taste.
