Generally, frozen cut potatoes for use in making (American) french fries, or "chips" elsewhere, are primarily raw and partially cooked, by virtue of having been hot air dried in large blowers, after having been well rinsed to remove excess starch. The purpose of drying is to eliminate ice crystallization and to somewhat seal the surface of the potato. This is done in order to prevent excess damage to the oil, (and splatter) caused by the frozen potato hitting the hot oil. The restaurant industry discovered that frozen made for a better end product if you are frying in hot oil, and blanching saved thousands of dollars per month in oil. It also improves the appearance to be air blanched. And, it results in less oil being absorbed, therefore somewhat improving the food's nutrional value, and for some, improving the taste by being less greasy.
But, frying in oil is still frying in oil, so it is not health food. I have heard on good authority, that you can cook these in an oven and they crisp in a dry sort of way, and therefore you might want to get an olive oil mist pump to give a light coat before putting in oven, so that they more closely resemble the feel of fries in your mouth. Freezing is a technique that improves fried foods, but my guess is that oven rating a frozen potato may not be the way to go. Perhaps thawing would be better? Or, as Armin pointed out, simply cut up a potato!
wow thats real neat!
u know when i think fries i think "healthy and nutritious meal" u know what im saying? so that rly adds a nice extra layer of nutrition and healthiness on top of already healthy fries so my fries can be twice as healthy! thanks ywntEEzY-!!
soaks its potato chips (fries) in water [probably tap water] to remove sugar from them so that they'll all be a similar colour
blanches (cooks) them in hot water
fries them in hydrogenated vegetable oil
It's plausible that a company could bake their fries before freezing them, but who knows what water they soak in and what oil they're coated with.

Also no, you don't have to freeze them. Just peel and cut 'em properly, then straight into the pan. Tastes awesome.
fucking hell i alrdy said it takes a lot of time to prepare AND fry them in one go for me and thats the only reason i wanted to freeze them in the first place
the only connection i got with florin-like names, is one of Korvi9n's sister, Flora, in Zhaliazny (or w/e the spelling of his surname in English is) books
i think by damage to the oil they mean that oil gets mixed with water when u unfreeze fries without dehydrating them beforehand and it kinda fucks up the process
oil becomes damaged when its exposed to a lot of heat its excaclty the reason why fries at mcdonlds are very unhealthy since they use the same oil to fry tons of fries because they reach the smoke point
alright
what do you mean
i mean probably. anyway the taste of fries is all about seasoning and using a lot of salt
