The double fry technique is the key!. also, a cold water soak beforehand!.
Soak the cut up fries in cold water for about 30 minutes!. Remove from water and dry well!. Fry at 375 for about 8 minutes!. Remove from oil and drain!. Place back in the oil for another 3 minutes or so!.!.!.until the fries float and are golden brown!.
I like to season them with malt vinegar and lots of salt!. also, Old Bay once in a while!. Delicious!Www@FoodAQ@Com

I slice the potatoes about 1/2 inch thick!. Toss them in vegetable oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, sometimes chili powder!.
Bake them at 400 for 15 minutes, flip them, and bake another 10-15 minutes, I usually taste one every 10 minutes, until they are done to my likeness!. After they are done, add some white or malt vinegar, more salt and pepper and serve with ketchup!. YUMWww@FoodAQ@Com

Usually if they are hard still, they have not cooked long enough or cut too big!. You can season them with just about anything, it depends on what you like!. You can use anything from rosemary, salt, pepper, pretty much any spice!. You could also use cheese and bacon if you like, just for something new once in a while!. I like to make special ketchup myself!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Red potatoes do not make good fries!. Try baking potatoes!.

"alimcbeil" is close where the soaking and double fry is concerned!.
I suggest you check out Belgian fries!. They are the original and best in the world!. Forget about vinegar and ketchup!. Mayonaise is the word!.
And, no, I'm not Belgian!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Make sure you have enough oil, its best too cook them in a deep fryer, but possible in a pan!. When you cut them, cut them thick!. If you think its too thick, cut it a little thicker!. Dont leave in too long!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
