Since fries pair so well with beer, I had to share.

The Burger Lab: How to Make Perfect Thin and Crisp French Fries
For the longest time I've been saying frozen fries are the best. I've worked in several restaurants that made fries from scratch but never both steamed/boiled them then double-fried. It was always either double-fried or steamed-then-fried. That's why I never make them from scratch, too much trouble when you can buy them frozen and you get a great product.
It also depends what you like. I agree with the author that Mickey D's fries are the best, always have been. They take their fries seriously. But go to a place like Five-Guys and you get the dense, greasy, dark fries that 'technically' are terrible. But they're friggin fried potatoes so they're still tasty. And some people prefer that slight 'char' flavor and dense texture.
Orfy made a good thread about 'proper chips' from the UK. Those are different.
