Cooking Instructions
- 1
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into even strips about 1/4 inch thick.
- 2
Soak the Potatoes
Place the potato strips in a bowl of cold water and soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch for crispier fries.
- 3
Dry the Potatoes
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
- 5
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add the potato strips to the hot oil in batches, frying for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
- 6
Drain and Season
Remove the fries from the oil and drain on paper towels. While still hot, sprinkle with salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder to taste.
- 7
Serve
Serve the fries hot, either on their own or with your favorite dipping sauces.
