How do I fry perfect french fries?
user
Not sure I’d want to know what the “perfect” french fries would look like, but the basic process would be to heat up a wok or frying pan and coat it with oil, then drop in your cut potatoes.  Cook, flip, then cook again.  If you’re going for a few minutes, add salt.  If you’re making your own seasoning mix (I recommend the basic salt/paprika mix), add the mix in the final few minutes of cooking.  Does that help?

Coat it? Don't I use a bunch of oil?
user
To coat it is to put oil on top of it to prevent sticking and browning.  But the best method is to coat it with oil by drizzling it around the fries while cooking.

I'm not sure that is accurate. The method I know for cooking french fries is deep frying them.
