Or you could simply twice-fry them.  They are known as Belgian
Fries. First, simply fry them in batches in 325F vegetable oil.
(Peanut oil is not required.)  Fry the potatoes 4-5 minutes until the
potatoes are tender, not browned and crisp.  Remove with a strainer or
slotted spoon and drain them well on paper towels.  Bring the oil back
up to temp and fry them again until they are golden brown and crisp
outside.  Strain, drain, sprinkle with salt and they're done.

 Never heard of Belgian Fries until now. What breed of potato do you use?
