This should give the desired results. 09/05/2006 Out of curiosity, I divided my potatoes into two batches and soaked one batch in cold water only, and the other in cold water with the sugar added.
I must say that the one soaked in sugar water did come out crispier. The difference in the taste was discernible at best, but you can totally tell that one was crispier than the other, so I would suggest that you use sugar as listed in the recipe.
12/29/2006 Planned on fries tonight and decided to experiment. Per Martha S. I've been soaking my potatoes in cold water for at least 2 hours before cooking.

So I would suggest instead of just using plain salt on your fries, go to your spice rack and pick out a nice spice mix to put on your french fries. Seasoning salt tastes good too.
Today I experimented with different temperatures and thickness of potatoes. If I kept my temperature at 365 they would burn before the cooked inside.
