Fully bake your potatoes the day before, then chill them. Cut then up while they are cold and fry in butter. That's what I do.
Or you can follow this, which is more difficult:

time,fat and patience
also you definitely have to cook them in water with a teaspoon of baking powder added (to increase surface area on the potatoes) and rough them up before roasting/searing (toss roughly with fat+a spoon in the bowl)

Bake before cutting them up, medium-high heat, plenty of oil, don't overload your pan.

Soak in salt water

This. What I do is I fully cook them in the oven them sort of sear (english isn't my main language sorry) them.
Also use lard, however disgusting it may seem at first.

parcook is good.
dry is key.

Soak in ice water at least 1 hour before. Dry completely. As other anons said, don't crowd otherwise you'll be steaming.

cube them, then blanch them in boiling water for a bit, then drain them in a strainer. shake them up a bunch so the edges get all roughed up and mashy. then pan-fry them in oil.

I par cook mine in the microwave the night beforehand. Chill down. Slice cold.
Cook in cast iron or nonstick (heavy bottomed), but I pretty much leave them alone until a crush forms, and then I flip them. I don't toss them around like I'm sauteeing them. Patience, too.
Sometimes I just prefer oven fries, they get more golden without all the fuss. I toss raw potatoes in olive oil, salt, pepper and maybe some herbs and then, just pour into a baking dish until golden browned (skin on of course).
