Large Pot for boiling

Potato's (Figure one large potato per person)(Peeled or skin on your choice)
1/2 Cup Sugar

Slice your potatoes into thin slices until they look like french fries
Soak sliced potato's in cold water until you are ready to fry them
Place the fries into the large pot
Add the sugar and fill with water until the potatoes are covered
Mix well let them soak for one hour
Then place pot on stove and bring to a boil
Dump the hot water
Place potatoes into the large bowl fill with ice and water to stop the cooking process add additional ice if necessary to get they cool quickly
Once they are completely cool
Remove from ice bath onto a dry towel Pat the french fries dry
Heat the oil (Place your hand over the top of pan when you can feel the heat place one french fry into oil as a test fry. Time how long it takes for the fry to turn golden brown.
Fry the potatoes in batches as not to over crowd the pan.
Remove with a slotted spoon or spider web onto paper towels
Sprinkle with Kosher salt to taste
You will find they are soft on the inside and nice and crunchy on the outside. The golden arches will have nothing on you. Enjoy!
