Remove fries and increase oil temperature to 400 degrees.
Cook the fries an additional 3-5 minutes until fries are golden brown, darker brown at the edges and crispy.

Notes: Yellow potatoes yield a smooth creamy inner to the fries but don't crisp up outside very readily.
Russet potatoes are not so creamy inside but brown and crisp better.
Since potatoes come in all shapes and sizes, budget one large(ish) potato per person as a serving.
Don't crowd the fryer with too many fries or they will stick together and not cook to a golden brown.
To make a large quantity, its OK to cook the batch 8-9 minutes then set aside before browning the batches together, so they are all ready at roughly the same time. Keep the fryer temperature at maximum so the oil temperature doesn't fall too much while browning.
