I agree with you on the difference between Kennebec and Russets on french fries. Russets are a much harder potato and I like the fries from them better too. On the other hand, I don't grow any Russets at all anymore. They get some type of scab disease that all the other varieties I plant seem to be immune to and I get a lot of deformed clumps of potatoes instead of nice ovals. Probably caused by the same disease.

Are you in the La Crosse area? Rudy's in Holmen, WI would have them.

Anyway, if it's any help, you can make those fries a lot less soggy by putting them in room temperature oil, then heating it up to 400F with the potatoes in it and leave them at 400F until they're done. Putting the fries in when the oil is already up to temp makes them more soggy which is the opposite of what you'd expect.
