French Fries Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips or wedges, about 1/4 inch thick. Place the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

  2. 2

    Dry the Potatoes

    After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean towel or paper towels to remove moisture. This step is crucial for achieving crispy fries.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep frying pan or a fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to check the temperature.

  4. 4

    Fry the Potatoes

    Carefully add the dried potato strips to the hot oil in small batches. Fry them for about 4-5 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.

  5. 5

    Drain and Season

    Using a slotted spoon, remove the fries from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. While they are still hot, sprinkle salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the French fries hot with your choice of dipping sauces.
