Whole Potato in my Frozen Fries

So I dumped out a frozen bag of waffle fries that I bought from the store and an entire frozen potato plopped out of the bag. Has this ever happened to anyone else? 😂

One of my potatoes came up like this. Is it a disease?

Apparently I’ve been making crispy potatoes wrong this whole time

I always used to cut potatoes into cubes, season them with oil and spices, and throw them straight into the oven. They tasted fine, but they never got as crispy as the ones you get at restaurants.

Then I saw someone say to boil the potatoes for a few minutes before roasting them, and give them a little shake in the pot to rough up the edges.

Tried it yesterday and honestly, the difference was ridiculous.

The outside turned golden and crunchy while the inside stayed soft and fluffy. Same potatoes, same oven, just one extra step.

Now I’m annoyed thinking about all the years I’ve been eating mediocre roasted potatoes without realizing what I was missing :))

Idaho here. Sad.

The factory refused these as fresh produce because they have little scrapes on the skins, and our farm doesn't have a contract to send them out for shredded potatoes, so they just have to be thrown away. There was no market for them.

We did sack up four truckloads and took them downtown, all 4 truckloads were used by community.

P.S. Solo is our little dog. He's a farm dog Pomeranian with his own unique story, ha!

Disease

What disease can your potatoes possibly get if you simply cut eyes from a potato and plant? This was posted as a possibility by another Redditor from Europe Netherlands?) My mother said that's how they grew their potatoes on the farm (SC).
