Potatoes and Seasoning
Method
Preparation and Cooking
- 1
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut them into even strips, about 1/4 inch thick.
- 2
Soak the Potatoes
Place the potato strips in a bowl of cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch. This helps them become crispier when fried.
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a deep pot or fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use enough oil to fully submerge the fries.
- 4
Dry the Potatoes
After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels to remove any moisture.
- 5
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add the potatoes in batches to the hot oil. Fry them for about 5-7 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- 6
Drain and Season
Remove the fries from the oil and drain them on paper towels. While they are still hot, sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to taste.
- 7
Serve
Serve the French fries hot with your favorite dipping sauces.
