1
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut them into uniform sticks, about 1/4 inch thick.
2
Soak the Potatoes
Place the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water and soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
3
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
4
Dry the Potatoes
Drain the soaked potatoes and pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
5
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add a batch of potatoes to the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
6
Drain and Season
Remove the fries from the oil and drain on paper towels. While still hot, season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste.
7
Serve
Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
