Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut them into even sticks, about 1/4 inch thick. Rinse them in cold water to remove excess starch, then pat dry with paper towels.

Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add the cut potato sticks into the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 4-5 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy.

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 season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder while they are still hot.
