Preparation

Soak Potatoes
Place the cut potato sticks in a large bowl of cold water. Let them soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch. This helps make the fries crispier.
Cooking
- 3
Heat Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, pour the vegetable oil and heat it to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure the oil reaches the correct temperature.

Dry Potatoes
After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess water. This step is crucial to prevent splattering when frying.
- 5
Fry Potatoes
Carefully add a batch of the dried potato sticks into the hot oil. Fry them for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pot; work in batches if necessary.

Drain and Season
Once cooked, remove the fries from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. While they are still hot, season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to taste.
