Do they fry them before they freeze them? They always have this greasy feel after you touch them, like they have already been fried. I am trying to stay away from fried foods and I was wondering if this classifies as being fried if I just bake them.

Most fries are not prefried, the ones that are prefried will say oven-able on the package, those are prefried for color.
All other fries are blanch in water, pass through a dryer then flash frozen.
If you have a processing plant near you they may allow tours. I suggest if possible take one for your own benefit.

They are actually flash-fried and frozen right away. The ones that are baked & then frozen tend to have a coarser, hollow texture when you heat them up through baking.

no there only fried if you deep fry them ... Google "How To Make French Fries" it will tell you I'm sure how they are made .. and if your that worried make you own out of fresh cut potatoes but it would require to deep fry them .

Ooh...i love both....yet i might want to might want to assert that baked potato wins with the help of a really slender margin. i'm questioning about the melted cheese, chives, bitter cream, 1st Baron Verulam bits, pepper, and different multiple yummies you may placed on a baked potato... make sure that's a huge russet potato because for baked potatoes those are wonderful!

IF they're oven chips,cook them in the oven.I don't think you're going to get enough grease off them for them to be classed as fried

Well, if you want to stay away from grease, just bake them anyway. They are cut potatoes. Maybe they fry them maybe not.

They are raw. The potato is pushed through the slicer and then frozen immediately and then bagged. Jeez, don't you ever watch the Food Network?

You bake them in the oven. I don't think they are fried.

They are partcooked then frozen.
And they will only have a greasy feel if you defrost them to much before cooking them
