People who haven't gotten into habit of googling stuff in the last 20 years might not get into it at all anymore because of how search engines are gamed with SEO spam tactics nowadays (lemm.ee)

Oven cooked french fries are a thing, and have a surprisingly high popularity

In my just under 40 years on this rock, the only time I’ve seen someone deepfrying french fries at home has been on American TV shows. It’s a lot more popular to cook them in the oven around here.

Doesn't the very nature of being fries, require them to be fried? Otherwise, they're baked potato sticks.

Ours are pre-fried at the factory, then frozen and packaged. We typically then finish cooking them in the oven.
