Preparation and Cooking

Soak the Potatoes
Place the cut fries into a large bowl of cold water and soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and makes the fries crispier.

Dry the Potatoes
After soaking, drain the water and lay the fries out on a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Pat them dry to remove any excess moisture.

Heat the Oil
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.

Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add a batch of the dried fries to the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 5-6 minutes or until they turn golden brown. Remove the fries with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Season the Fries
While the fries are still hot, sprinkle them with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to taste. Toss them gently to ensure even coating.
