I swear, no matter what I try, my homemade fries always end up soggy. 
Oven-baked, air-fried, deep-fried—you name it, I’ve tried it! Do I need to double fry? Use a specific potato? Or is it just magic? Help a fry-lover out!

It sounds like you're on the right track with trying different methods. For crispy fries, using russet potatoes is key—they have the right amount of starch. Also, soaking the cut fries in water for at least 30 minutes helps remove excess starch, which keeps them crispy. If you're air-frying or oven-baking, try giving them a light toss in some oil and don’t overcrowd them. Double frying can definitely help too, especially with deep frying—just fry them once at a lower temp, then again at a higher temp for that golden crunch!
