Fresh potatoes cut into fries have a lot of moisture in them and its hard to get rid of it all in one cooking to get them nice and crispy, or even to prevent them from getting soggy.
The trick is to par boil them in oil for a minute or so, then take them out and let them drain and cool a minute or three. Then back into the oil for the real cooking. They will come out nice and crispy.
Quit complaining about the color, just pull up your skirt and fish! -- snagged
