1
Peel and Cut Potatoes
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into thin strips, about 1/4 inch wide. Rinse the cut potatoes in cold water to remove excess starch.
2
Soak Potatoes
Soak the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water for at least 30 minutes. This helps to achieve crispier fries.

3
Heat Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure the oil is at the correct temperature.
4
Dry Potatoes
After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
5
Fry Potatoes
Carefully add a batch of the dried potato strips to the hot oil. Fry for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Do not overcrowd the pot.
6
Drain and Season
Remove the fries from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. While still hot, sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
