1
Wash and Peel Potatoes
Start by washing the Russet potatoes thoroughly under cold water. Peel the skin off using a vegetable peeler.
2
Cut Potatoes
Cut the peeled potatoes into thin strips, approximately 1/4 inch thick, to create even French fries.

3
Heat Oil
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer, pour in the vegetable oil and heat it to 350°F (175°C). A thermometer can help to ensure the right temperature.
4
Fry Potatoes
Carefully add a batch of the cut potato strips into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 4-5 minutes or until they turn golden brown.
5
Drain Excess Oil
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fries from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

6
Season Fries
While the fries are still hot, sprinkle salt, black pepper, and garlic powder over them. Toss gently to ensure even coating.

7
Serve Hot
Serve the French fries hot as a side dish or snack. Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce!
