The prefect fry has a crispy exterior with a very soft center, like the stuff in a baked potato before you put stuff in it but right after you've broken it up. The trick is to get the fryer temperature just right and to cook for exactly the right amount of time. Of course, I tend to avoid fries these days, as I'm trying to drop extra weight and get to my optimum weight for health reasons. (I've dropped about 50lbs since early March, so it's working well so far)
