Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick.
- 2
Soak the Potatoes
Soak the potato strips in cold water for at least 30 minutes. This helps remove excess starch and makes the fries crispier.
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accurate temperature.
- 4
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add the potato strips to the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry them for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown.
- 5
Drain and Season
Remove the fries from the oil and drain on paper towels. Immediately sprinkle with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste.
- 6
Serve
Serve the fries hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
