Steps:

• Make the fries: Fill a large bowl with cold water and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Peel the potatoes and slice into ¼-inch (6 mm) thick strips about 3 inches (7 cm) long. Transfer the slices to the cold water as you go.
• Rinse the fries by running more cold water into the bowl until the water turns clear, rinsing off any excess starch. Fill the bowl with water and add the remaining tablespoon of lemon juice, then chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
• In a large heavy-bottomed pan, heat 2-3 inches (5-7 cm) of oil over medium-low heat until it reaches 325°F (165°C). Line 2 baking sheet with thick paper, such as brown paper grocery bags.
• Drain the fries, then dry completely using a kitchen towel.
• Cook the potatoes in the hot oil for 6-8 minutes, or until soft and slightly golden in color. Remove the fries from the oil using a wire mesh skimmer and transfer to the prepared baking sheets to drain. Let stand at room temperature for 15-20 minutes.
• Increase the oil temperature to 375°F (190°C). Return the fries to the oil and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the golden brown and crispy. Drain on clean paper bags. Season with the salt.
• Serve the fries in cones of parchment paper topped with your sauce of choice.
• For the curry ketchup: Heat the olive oil a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. When the oil is shimmering, add the onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 2 minutes. Season with the salt. Add the garlic and cook for another minute, until fragrant. Add the curry powder, paprika, chili powder, and cinnamon and cook for 30 seconds, until the spices are fragrant and toasted.
• Add the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, and honey and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove the pot from the heat and let the curry ketchup cool slightly.
• Transfer the ketchup to a tall, narrow container. Using an immersion blender, purée the mixture until smooth, about 3 minutes. Let the mixture cool completely, then thin with water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until you your desired consistency is reached. The curry ketchup can be made up to 1 day before serving. To serve, top the fries with the curry ketchup, mayonnaise, and chopped onion.
• For the garlic chipotle mayo: Cook the garlic cloves in a small, dry skillet over medium-high heat until the cloves are golden with some black spots, about 9 minutes.
• Transfer the garlic to a food processor, along with mayonnaise, lemon juice, chipotle peppers, and salt. Process until combined. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. The roasted garlic chipotle mayo can be made up to 1 day before serving. To serve, top the fries with the garlic chipotle mayo.
• Make the pesto mayo: In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, pesto, and lemon juice until well combined. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. The pesto mayo can be made up to 1 day before serving. To serve, top the fries with the pesto mayo.

Steps:

• Cut the potatoes into strips approximately 1/2 to 3/4 inch wide and 1/2 inch thick. As you cut them, submerge them in a bowl filled with cold water to prevent oxidizing (turning color).
• Fill a stockpot with cold water, add a little salt, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Lift the potatoes from the cold water with a slotted spoon and cook in the boiling water until fork-tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Lift the potatoes from the water and spread out on a paper towel-lined baking sheet. Pat the potatoes dry, replace the original layer of paper towels with dry paper towels, and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a deep, heavy pot or deep-fat fryer, bring the fat to a temperature of 275°F over medium-high heat.
• Working in batches, fry the chilled potatoes for 3 to 5 minutes before lifting them from the hot oil with a slotted metal spoon and spreading on the baking sheet (no paper towels this time!). Let the oil regain its heat between batches. Chill the potatoes again for about 15 minutes.
• While the potatoes chill, raise the heat under the fat or adjust the thermostat on the fryer and heat the fat to 375°F.
• Fry the chilled potatoes again until golden brown and crispy, 4 to 5 minutes, working in batches and letting the fat regain its heat between each one. Use tongs or extra-long chopsticks to break the potatoes apart, if necessary, and turn them in the fat so that they brown evenly.
• With a slotted spoon, transfer the fries to a shallow bowl. Add the parsley and toss to mix. Season with salt and serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil; spray with cooking spray.
• Place sliced potatoes in a colander; sprinkle sugar over potatoes. Set aside until liquid is released from potatoes, 20 to 30 minutes. Drain liquid and dry potatoes well.
• Mix potato slices, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in a resealable bag until evenly coated. Spread coated potato slices in a single layer, leaving space around each potato, on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes; flip fries and continue baking until crisp and browned, about 20 more minutes.
