Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into long, thin strips (about 1/4 inch thick).

  2. 2

    Soak the Potatoes

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

  3. 3

    Dry the Potatoes

    Drain the water and pat the potato strips dry with a clean towel to remove moisture.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

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

  5. 5

    Fry the Potatoes

    Carefully add the dried potato strips to the hot oil in batches. Fry for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

  6. 6

    Drain and Season

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

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve the French fries hot with your favorite dipping sauces.
