Your best homemade french fry techniques?
We love fries with meat meals but don't have a lot of freezer space for the frozen type. I'm not too keen on the deep fryer due to fear of the hot grease. Does anyone have any recipes/techniques ...

Remember the apple cutter that cores the apple and cuts it into wedges? You can also find (Try Bed Bath & Beyond) a two-handed potato cutter that cuts a single potato into French fries. Much cheaper than anything discussed so far.
After cutting the potatoes into fries, soak them in cold water to get rid of the starch on the outside. The longer the better. This will give you a crisper fry.
I then put them in a baggy with enough olive oil to coat them when I shake'em up. Do any amount you want, then spread them out on a cookie sheet, sprinkle Mrs. Dash or any preferred seasonings on them and bake'em.
And, no, you don't have to "fry them twice." Can you seriously imagine a restaurant that has enough time to do that? Most don't.
