First, you don't eat the potatoes baked unless you want them baked. "Baked fries" sounds retarded. Baked potatoes are usually much more soft, and fries have a built in firmness and crispness to them baked potatoes do. If you want home made fries, it's very simple.
>bake potato or bag of potatoes you want
>leave them in for an hour for them to be be baked at 350
>Take em out, let em cool for 10 minutes
>grab a pan, turn it on high (level 6 out of 10 for quickness)
>cut potatoes however you want, add them to pan, make sure to cook each side
And that's it. You can either use a dry pan just to have them fried or add some oil to get some extra crispness and that gourmet sensation. I should note that dry can make it cook quicker but you'll need to be quick to flip them, otherwise they might get stuck to the pan. Oil removes that factor.
I don't add salt to mine personally because I'm trying to watch sodium intake, but you don't need oil to sprinkle some salt on it for it to stick. Just sprinkle it and then mix them around, or jostle them with your pan and a lid if you can.
Personally, I just cut my potatoes straight, so they look like casino chips and basically just have "chip" fries like the Brits call em. Still tastes fine. Squeeze out some ketchup and you're golden. Then you can either store the rest, cut them and store them, etc. I buy potatoes by 10 pound bags for like 5 or 3 bucks monthly. I don't always eat fries, but they're a god send for my usual daily meals when I cook them in the pan.
