True for the most part, but mom used to make an "oven fry" with
seasoning salt for our all weekend D&D games back when I was in college.
She took fresh potatoes and cut them into "fries" and hand-coated them
with cooking oil, spread them on a cookie sheet, sprinkled them with
seasoned salt and baked them. I don't remember the time or temps.
(sorry)

They were really really good! Not French Fries, but delicious in their
own right and my co-players munched them up happily.
