1
Wash and Cut the Potatoes
Thoroughly wash the Russet potatoes under cold water to remove any dirt. Peel the potatoes (optional), then cut them into thin strips about 1/4 inch thick to create fries.
2
Soak the Potatoes
Place the cut potato strips in a large bowl filled with cold water. Let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps remove excess starch and makes the fries crispier.

3
Heat the Oil
In a large heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure the oil reaches the right temperature for frying.
4
Dry the Potatoes
After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels. Ensure they are as dry as possible to prevent oil splattering.
5
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add the dried potato strips to the hot oil in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove the fries with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
6
Season the Fries
While the fries are still hot, sprinkle them with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to taste. Toss gently to ensure even coating.
