Method

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips or your desired fry shape.

  2. 2

    Soak the Potatoes

    Place the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and results in crispier fries.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a large pot or deep fryer, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.

  4. 4

    Dry the Potatoes

    After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.

  5. 5

    Fry the Potatoes

    Carefully add a batch of potatoes to the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown.

  6. 6

    Drain and Season

    Remove the fries with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. While still hot, sprinkle with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Enjoy your crispy French fries warm, either plain or with your favorite dipping sauce.
