Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash the potatoes thoroughly and peel them if desired. Cut them into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick.

  2. 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. 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.

  4. 4

    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. 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. 6

    Serve

    Serve the fries hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
