As far as making fries at home goes, the best way I have found is the actifry. Cut the potatoes with a cutter to get them into uniform fry size cuts and throw them in there with a bit of coconut oil for about 35 minutes. The coconut oil seems to be key, if you use olive oil you will get the taste of it in the fries, but coconut oil doesn't seem to leave any taste. Of course a deep fryer is always the best way but that's kinda impractical to have at home unless you use it a lot otherwise it's just a waste to use that much oil for a few meals.
