How do I make my french fries crispy?

Keep them in longer!

Fry them well at around 350 or so. Take them out, let them drain, bring the heat up to 390 or so, then re-fry. I guarantee they'll be most restaurant style and crispy with this double fry method.

Try using red potatoes and cutting them into thin slices. Red potatoes get crunchier when placed in a deep fryer or a skillet with oil. If you don't have red potatoes, use regular potatoes or store bought french fries and leave them in longer. They shouldn't come out mushy if the oil is hot enough and they are cooked for the appropriate amount of time. Good luck.

Fry them at around 350 degrees till they are almost done...remove from the oil and let rest. Re-fry them at 375 for a few minutes. The double frying will make them very crispy, but not burnt.

A few things: 1) Make sure the oil is hot enough -- should be about 375 F. 2) If you've been cutting them fairly thick, try cutting them thinner. This will allow more moisture to escape, and gives them more surface area, which will make them more golden. Moisture (water) is the enemy of crispy fries! 3) If you like fairly thick fries, try crinkle cut fries. The crinkle cut gives them extra surface area, which again helps let moisture out and also makes them more golden and crispy. 4) If you're using frozen fries, try letting them thaw out a bit. This will let more moisture escape without having to overcook them.

are you using real potatoes or pre packaged? if the real ones, wash and scrub them well to get the dirt off, but dont soak them. cook them until a orange-ish color. if the pre packaged, cook them from frozen, though it might take longer, but not by much. go by the directions on the package. take out one to see if its crispy, if not cook them a little longer.

Turn up the fire a little.

Just cook them longer.
