Here's the thing about fries, if you cut the potato and fry it immediately in very hot oil, you get In-n-Out style fries. Sort of a papery skin, a little dry, so salt doesn't adhere. If the oil is less hot, you get a stickier fried potato, not at all a french fry consistency. If you cut your potatoes and let them soak in water overnight, starch leaches out of them, creating a coating that gives you that super-crisp consistency you find at McDonald's. If you cheat, i.e. Carl's Jr. waffle fries, you can "bread" your fries, and get the same crispy outsides, but the insides are usually a little mushy.

There are very few fries I don't like. I hate cold or reheated fries, and Steak fries and Suzie-q's are too thick to get crisp enough for me.

When I order fries, rarely, because of the carbs and all, I'll usually ask for them extra crispy, with a side of mayo for dipping.
