You need floury or mashing-type potatoes - not waxy ones. If you are
in the US I think it is an Idaho potato. If you are where I am in
New Zealand it is Ilam Hardy or Agria.

I actually cook them in the oven without deep frying them. They are
thus not strictly French fries but oven chips. We like them best
this way because they are more healthy eating.

Good luck.
