Cooking Instructions
- 1
Prepare the Potatoes
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into thin, even strips, about 1/4 inch thick. Rinse the potato strips in cold water to remove excess starch, then soak them in cold water for at least 30 minutes.
- 2
Heat the Oil
In a large, deep pot or fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.
- 3
Dry the Potatoes
After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- 4
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add the potato strips in batches to the hot oil. Fry for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- 5
Season and Serve
While the fries are still hot, season them with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to taste. Serve immediately.
