Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel the Russet potatoes and cut them into thin strips (about 1/4 inch thick). Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

  2. 2

    Dry the Potatoes

    After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel to remove any moisture.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  4. 4

    Fry the Potatoes

    Working in batches, carefully add the dried potato strips to the hot oil and fry until they are golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes.

  5. 5

    Drain and Season

    Using a slotted spoon, remove the fries from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Immediately season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to taste.

  6. 6

    Serve

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