I've very rarely bought any frozen fries but as I remember the cooking
directions for frozen tater tots say to bake them, same for frozen
fries... actually if the directions said to deep fry or even pan fry
pitifuly few would buy them. Now that I'm thinking about it when my
grands were much younger they requested frozen tots and fries for when
they visited so I'd stock up and they would nuke them.... there was a
lot of frozen meals they could nuke themselves; egg n' cheeze muffins
and Eggo toaster products were favorites... I quickly learned not to
bother cooking for them as like many kids they were so used to fast
food dreck they wouldn't eat a home cooked meal... they could live on
these:

As they got older they visited less as they were going to school,
summer camp, and would rather hang with their friends. As I got older
I came to realize that I no longer enjoyed young kids, I found them to
be a PIA. Actually I've discovered that kids today don't truly begin
to mature until they're about 30 years old, many never mature in
responsibility past that of a 4 year old.
