Cut up your potatoes and place them in a bowl of water with a few ice cubes...That's "trick" #1Let them soak a minimum of 30 minutes

Strain out the water and rinse them off... you'll see all the starch it pull out of the potatoes!

Heat up your oil... On med-high and blot dry your potatoes with a paper towel

Test your temp with a fry or two

Fry them for about 3-5 mins till they just start to turn color

Pull them out and continue with the rest... When you pull the first batch out give the oil a minute to pull it back up to temp before you drop the next batch!

Here is "trick" #2....Fry them again... this time till they start to turn brown!

Can you see the difference?!Now just salt them to taste and you have your homemade French Fries!
