This is the way I make REAL frites. Fluffy on the inside and super crispy on the outside. I got this recipe from the America's Test Kitchen and is much faster than parboiling or soaking the potatoes.

Cut potatoes ( I use russet baking potatoes) into wide "shoestrings" with a good knife.

Coat with vegetable oil and microwave for about 2 minutes until they bend easily without breaking. Rinse in a collander over cold water. Pat very dry with tea towel.

Fry in at least 3" vegetable oil at 325 for about 3 minutes. Drain on a paper towels or brown bags. Turn up the heat to 375 and return fries to oil and fry until golden.

Fresh cut fries are the best but also take the most time to prepare. Large white potatoes are probably the best choice for slicing. While you can cook the fries in canola or vegetable oil, try peanut oil if you are not allergic. It imparts a nice flavor to the potatoes. Do not overload your frypan when doing as the sogginess comes from the temperature drop. You want to crisp the outside first, then the moisture from the inside boils out and is not replaced by the oil.

Simple fries are with sliced potatoes, but there is a better way.

There was a place I used to go to in Germany that would mash the potatoes first, run them through some kind of grinder thing where they came out in fry-shaped strips, and fry those.

Much better fries than simply slicing.

uhhhhh.....how about peeling and cutting up your potatoes and then frying them in your choice of oil or grease.
By the way, french fries are not from France.
