Sous vide is a smart idea!
It reminds me of someone who cooks their meat wrapped in cling film, inside a seal-able kitchen bag, inside the dish washer.

According to a quick Google research, your recipe has been out since at least 2010. Better call your lawyer

The book says to take them out as soon as it boils.

I guess you just want them slightly undercooked, or water is going to turn them into purée and they'll never fry properly.

Potato cultivar plays a huge role too. 'Bintje' is the way to go here!

it's similar to how I cook my roast potatoes: parboil, drain and into hot fat (pref. dripping) in the oven.

I have an aversion to hot fat on the hob after a nasty incident so I invested in a Hot Air Fryer (Tefal ActiFry) which does a pretty decent job of fries using just a small amount of oil.

Camille's descriptions really got me drooling, I was introduced to mayo with fries in Amsterdam many, many years ago (35 years ago perhaps) and it's still my preferred condiment.

It's the surface with hot rings where you put saucepans etc.
What do you call it?

Well, I've always called them burners. But, now that I have a smooth top stove, it's just a cooktop.

Sweet potatoes are from a different plant family - do they benefit from blanching before frying? A restaurant near me serves sweet potato fries sprinkled with nutmeg-cinnamon harissa and very lemony mayonnaise.

No clue. They taste really nice when oven roasted with paprika and olive oil though.

Since they have starch as well, it might be possible to blanch them?
Please report back if you decide to give it a shot!

I've only had sub-par results with the multi-cook methods for fries despite multiple attempts (and I'm a decent home cook). It ultimately ends up being way too much work.

However, I re-discovered the easiest method of all to make a single batch of fries: just cut them up and start them in cold oil. Super fast, easy, crispy, tasty fries. Works well if you have a temp-controlled fryer or deep fry unit. Doesn't work if you want to make multiple batches, though, unless you have a giant vessel of oil.

If you haven't tried it before, give it a go!
