you can keep them in cool water for quite some time before you have to cook them but you don't need to blanch them. The trick to really crispy french fries is to fry them twice... after removing the potatoes from the water, make sure to pat dry them really well, I mean DRY. Place them in a fryer (do not over crowd, do in batches if necessary) and fry at 350 degrees for five minutes. Remove and let rest on a paper towel, cook remaining potatoes same way. THEN... do this process another time, this time letting them sit in the oil an additional five minutes. Remove, place on paper towel and salt immediately.
Delish!
Don't blanch
Pre-fry but don't allow them to get brown about 4 or 5 minutes - remove and let cool
When your ready for the fries - return to the fryer and fry till a crispy brown
This allows the fry to cook and then when returned to finish the fry they will be a very crisp fry
