Default French fries, baked v/s fried.

I try to stay on a low fat diet.
Occasionally I like some french fries and I know I can quarter a
potato and spay it with Pam and bake for a low fat alternative.
My question is with the store bought frozen fries. I bake them also.
However I got to thinking that they have already been partially fried
before being frozen and I wonder if there is a difference between the
amount of fat they provide if you bake them or deep fry them.

So, does it matter if you bake or fry store bought frozen potatoes?

Even if they were partially fried before they were frozen, baking them would
still result in less fat than frying them - now, whether or not the
difference is enough to change prep methods, I don't know. For me, I just
pop them in the oven cause it's a lot less mess than trying to fry them.
