Those fries look like they needed more frying.

They were a bag of frozen shoestring fries at a price so low I had to try them. The instructions on the bag only had one method of preparation listed which was baking in the oven at 425 for 12 minutes and rotating halfway through. I thought that was highly insufficient but I was determined to follow the Instructions in case they knew something I didn’t. I also did a small amount in an air fryer for 6 minutes.

Both methods turned out exactly the same. How does that bag not have a deep fry method?

Anyway they sucked. They are also small. Like no individual was longer than 3 inches / 7 cm. Pretty sure that the only effective way to eat them is with a fork. And I should do a little pre cook and then give them a toss in oil before finishing it. Or deep fry.

Follow your sense instead. The feel and look of them determines when they are done, you should know how a perfectly cooked fry looks by now. Instructions on packages are usually wrong anyway.
That’s exactly why I tried them in the air fryer. But I had there at least try the manufacture’s instructions.
