Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick.

  2. 2

    Soak the Potatoes

    Place the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

  3. 3

    Dry the Potatoes

    Drain the water and pat the potatoes dry with a clean kitchen towel.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

  5. 5

    Fry the Potatoes

    Carefully add the potatoes to the hot oil in batches, frying them for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

  6. 6

    Drain and Season

    Remove the fries from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. While still hot, season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve the French fries hot, either plain or with your favorite dipping sauce.
