Do you fry raw potato, or partially cook it first?

Neither. I bake them in the oven. It's not exactly the same, but I enjoy them and I can have a lot more for less calories

Preheat oven to 425-450 degrees
Cover baking pan with parchment
Peel and cut russet potatoes into strips
Toss in olive oil and desired seasoning
Put on one layer and put in preheated oven
Bake until desired crispyness

Notes:
- I usually do 425, but some recipes say 450
- Parchment paper is for anti-sticking and easy clean up
- My fries end up more like steak fries than shoestring
- Not much olive oil is needed. I use maybe a tsp. I find this makes a huge difference, though.
- I do spicy seasoning if I want bacon cheese fries (or an excuse to eat ranch) or garlic and salt for normal fries
- This usually takes me about 40-45 minutes. I usually start out by checking at 20-15 minutes and going by sight.
- You can turn halfway through to get even browning, but I am too lazy


Hope that helps And that you like them!!

Here are some shots for you. I made these this weekend. They were cut thinner than I usually go. They were cooked at 450 for 20 mins. It would have been more even if I had flipped halfway through
