Ethan, would you consider trying a variation of this method? Boil the fries, but then coat them in corn starch or potato starch or a mix of both, shake off or brush off the excess, and then just fry them once until golden. There are videos on KZfaq of people making starch coated fries, and they are extra crispy without needing to double-fry. The boiling step should cook the potatoes through. Try it and see what you think of it.
