Homemade fries are the best by far. just cut up a few potatos and boil them in oil (vegitable oil). can't ask for anything with a better taste then that. Then you have to make your own fry sauce as well (mirical whip, or manase (sp) with ketcup)

you have to fry them twice. let them cool between frying, that is the secret. the fries that the fast food joints use are partially cooked, that is why they only take 6 min to cook in the store.

well you fry them twice at different temps. once at medium temp to cook, a 2nd time at high temp to superfry outside to crisp.

its not worth the effort.
