1
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick. Rinse the cut fries under cold water to remove excess starch and pat them dry with paper towels.
2
Heat the 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 right temperature for frying.
3
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add a handful of the potato strips to the hot oil, being cautious not to overcrowd the pot. Fry the potatoes for about 5-7 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
4
Draining
Remove the fries from the oil using a slotted spoon and drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and garlic powder while they are still hot.
5
Serve
Serve the French fries hot as a side dish or snack. Enjoy!
