If you're frying them, keep them in the fridge or even the freezer until the moment you drop them in the pot. Fry them at a bit higher temperature so that they cook quickly.

That should help them crisp up. If you're using regular potatoes, cut them about 4 hours before you plan to cook them and put them in a bowl in the freezer.

Also, cutting thinner helps. If you cut huge steak fries, they aren't going to crisp up the way they will if you have some fries that are like a quarter inch thick.
