1
Peel and Cut Potatoes
Peel the Russet potatoes and cut them into evenly sized sticks, about 1/4 inch thick.
2
Soak Potatoes
Place the cut potatoes in a large bowl of cold water and soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

3
Heat the Oil
In a large, deep pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
4
Dry and Fry
Drain the soaked potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels. Carefully add a batch of potatoes to the hot oil and fry for about 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
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. While still hot, sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to taste.
6
Repeat
Repeat the frying process with the remaining potato sticks, ensuring the oil temperature remains consistent.

7
Serve Hot
Serve the French fries immediately while hot, optionally with your favorite dipping sauces.
