Those fries look like they needed more frying.

That’s what I was thinking, but could be home cut from a potato that isn’t necessarily used for fries. I’m sure I made some in the past like that and they were fine, except for the part where I cut them by hand so they didn’t have great shape lol

See my other reply for what went on with these fries

Hmmm yea 12minutes is like half of what I do mine these days in air fryer, so defo not enough. Whoever manufacturers those doesn’t have a clue.
