 Hi... a lot depends upon the variety of potato you use...there's a Dutch 

variety that's very popular...it's sweet & mealy. If you do fries the way the 

chip joints do it, you fry up small batches so the chips don't break or get 

stuck together. This 1st fry is done between 350-375 degree F. till they're 

yellowish & limp, then you pour them out on a pan to cool, this lets some of 

the potato's moisture evaporate. Then re-fry between 325-350 degrees for a 

crisp chip. If you want to do it as one batch, lower the heat mid-way through 

the frying. Usually it takes about 20-25 minutes as a once-only batch.
