Answers:
This is what I do, First you cut some potatoes up, the thinner the better because if they are think they wont get crispy without getting burned first. So make them like 2 mm thick if possible but no more then 1 cm thick, on all sides. Next I like to use peanut oil since it gives them a better taste. (however peanut oil smells disgusting when cooking but its good trust me) Let the oil get hot, then take the potatoes that you cut really thin and put them in. Dont over load the pan, but make sure all the patatoes are covered in oil. (watch out for splashing oil) next keep them in the oil for about 10 minutes, or until they appear golden brown. Remove them and place them in paper towels to get some of the oil off, while they still appear wet and oily, put some salt on them.
Thats what I do and they turn out good.

If you boil your fries in oil, a higher temperature oil, such as 400-450 degrees farenheit, will alow the outer shell of the fry to cook quicker and therefor cook more than the inside of the fry. This will give you a crispier fry. Doing this will only take you about 4 minutes to make a basket of fries. I dont know about baking fries. I would assume the same to work for baking.
You need to blanch your french fries. You cook them for one minute at about 375 degrees and take them out and let them cool. Then after they have cooled you need to cook them again at the same temperature until they are golden brown. This is how the local fast food joint did it with fresh potatoes and they had the best ones!! According to two great chefs, Thomas Keller and Anthony Bourdain, the secret is cooking twice and making sure that your oil is hot enough. Rather than give all the details here, you could either buy Bourdain's cookbook "Les Halles Cookbook", or use Alton Brown's recipe (below).
