Okay folks this is what I do to make to make crispy french fries.
I fry the potatoes on medium to med low heat untill right befor they are cooked through and through but not turning color on the outside.
I then cool them off until room temperature.
Then turn the oil up to medium high and let heat up.
Put the potatoes back in and cook till golden brown.
This way they wont be soggy and be crispy.
Another option wold be to steam cook or boil the potatoes first let dry and then fry.
