Method
Preparation

- 2
Soak the Potatoes
Place the cut potato strips in a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This will help remove excess starch and make the fries crispier.
Cooking
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a large, deep pot or a deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.
- 4
Dry the Potatoes
After soaking, drain the potato strips and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Ensure they are as dry as possible to prevent oil splatter.
- 5
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add a batch of potato strips to the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 5-7 minutes or until the fries are golden brown and crispy.
- 6
Drain and Season
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fries from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Immediately sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder while they are still hot.

Repeat
Repeat the frying process with the remaining potato strips until all are cooked. Adjust seasoning to taste as desired.
