'There are a lot of rules for making crispy french fries, and while most of our favorite restaurants are getting it right, some fast food fries still don\'t end up as crispy as we would like. Here are some secrets from the professionals.  If you want to fry potatoes to crispy perfection, you need to start with the right deep fryer, because it\'s an appliance specifically designed to heat oil to a precise set of temperatures. There are versions for home cooks, but commercial fryers are in a league of their own, and the pros argue that they make better fries. They\'re designed for heavy-duty use, holding the fryer oil at exact temperatures for hours. Many of them are hooked up directly to a gas line, too, which allows restaurants to recover temperatures faster.  The other important thing these commercial appliances allow you to do is to reuse fryer oil very efficiently, and that\'s surprisingly important.  It turns out that aged oil actually makes the fries crispier than new oil. You see, the fats in the oil start to break down as it\'s exposed to heat. That might sound bad, but it\'s a huge plus when it comes to making crispy french fries: The oil molecules in this aged oil will bond more effectively with the food, resulting in a crispier product.  That doesn\'t mean all aged oil works. When the oil gets too old, it can start to smoke, which creates an off-flavor for your french fries. It\'s also important to filter the oil really well to remove any food bits or impurities that can burn.
