Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Peel and Cut Potatoes

    Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into evenly sized sticks, 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. This will help make them crispier when fried.

  3. 3

    Dry the Potatoes

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

Frying

  1. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep fryer or large pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to check the temperature for accurate frying.

  2. 5

    Fry the Potatoes

    Carefully add a handful of dried potato sticks to the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 5-7 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.

  3. 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 still hot, sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to taste.
