Method
Preparation
- 1
- 2
Soak the Potatoes
Place the cut potato strips in a large bowl of cold water. Let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and makes the fries crispier.
Frying
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a large heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to check the temperature for accurate frying.
- 4
Dry the Potatoes
After soaking, drain the potato strips and pat them dry with paper towels. Make sure they are as dry as possible to avoid oil splattering.
- 5
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add a batch of potato strips to the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the pot. Fry them for about 4-5 minutes or until they turn golden brown.
- 6
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. While they are hot, sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to taste.

Repeat
Continue frying the remaining potato strips in batches, ensuring the oil temperature remains consistent. Drain and season each batch.
Serving

Serve Hot
Serve the fries immediately while they're hot and crispy. You can enjoy them plain or with your favorite dipping sauces.
