Potato Preparation

- 2
Soak Potatoes
Place the cut potato wedges 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.

Drain and Dry Potatoes
After soaking, drain the water and lay the potato wedges on a clean kitchen towel or paper towel. Pat them dry thoroughly to remove as much moisture as possible.
Frying

Heat the Oil
In a large, deep skillet or fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure the oil reaches the correct temperature for frying.

Fry the Waffle Fries
Carefully add the potato wedges to the hot oil in batches. Fry them for about 4-5 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pan.

Drain and Season
Use a slotted spoon to remove the fries from the oil and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. While the fries are still hot, sprinkle them with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder to taste.

Prepare the Dipping Sauce
In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, ketchup, hot sauce, and garlic powder until well combined. Adjust the spice level to your preference by adding more hot sauce if desired.
