Method
Preparation

- 2
Soak Potatoes
Place the cut potato strips in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and makes the fries crispier.
Cooking
- 3
Heat Oil
In a deep-fryer or large heavy-bottomed pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a cooking thermometer to check the temperature.

Dry Potatoes
After soaking, drain the water from the potato strips and pat them dry with paper towels. Removing excess moisture will prevent oil splatter and ensure crispiness.
- 5
Fry Potatoes
Carefully add a handful of dried potato strips into the hot oil, being cautious not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove them with a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.

Season Fries
While the fries are still hot, sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Toss gently to coat the fries evenly with the seasoning.

Serve
Serve the fresh cut fries immediately while they're hot and crispy. Enjoy them with your favorite dipping sauce!
