sorry austin, but that first line was funny. i wasn't expecting it. it's the kind of thing i wish i had said, although not necessarily in response to a harmless comment about french fries.
silk
. nice work.
anyway, my wife makes french fries with potatoes or sweet potatoes. i'm not on the cooking committee so i'm not sure exactly how it works but she seasons them with salt, pepper and whatever else and olive oil and then bakes them. they are pretty good. i can't east fast food though so i may have different tastes.

Plenty of good recipes here. There is technique to good fries. 
https://www.foodnetwork.com/search/delegate.do?fnSearchString=French+fries&fnSearchType=site
Many of these recipes have 5 star ratings. I've made a ton of dishes from recipes that I got off the food network website. If a dish gets 5 stars, it's more than likely legit.

Cook in some closed tin foil? Bake on cookie sheet? What are beads, doesn't sound like something that should be eaten? Put some fresh parmesan cheese in there and you'd be a true player.

i did the whole soak them, fry them, dry them and then fry them again. i did not have a thermometer and from all indications the temp is a critical factor. i will get a thermometer.
the other thing is i NEVER fry anything so on the rare occasion i do try to make fries, what the heck am i supposed to do with all the oil???
anyway, a lot of effort and work for something you can get cheaply and quickly at a restaurant...

if you pan fry,got to wait until the oil gets real hot otherwise you will endup with oil soaked fries and thers nothing you can do to correct that.
Best thing to do is drop one fry in and see if oil starts cooking it or it just lays there soaking the oil.
Like i said in other post, buy yourself a good deep fryer and you should have zero problems making fries
