General Cooking Questions

I know this is supposed to be a double frying thing, but as the saying as been made popular, "ain't nobody got time fah dat".

A friend said he had good results blanching his cut fries briefly, freezing them, and then frying the frozen fries. Anyone want to weigh in? Not going to be doing this even once a month in all likelihood, but i'd like to have successful fries under my belt. i've had very mixed results.
