Directions
- 1
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash the potatoes thoroughly and peel them if desired. Cut them into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick.
- 2
Soak the Potatoes
Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch. This helps achieve crispier fries.
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.

Fry the Potatoes
Drain the soaked potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels. Carefully add them in batches to the hot oil, frying for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown.
- 5
Drain and Season
Remove the fries from the oil and drain on paper towels. While still hot, sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to taste.
- 6
Serve
Serve the fries hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
