Great question.
All of the above?
Noticed the same thing, last time we made baby potatoes. Would. Not. Get. Done.
I like stuffed green peppers. I went to make them and the peppers looked nice but had a super thick almost tasteless pale inner wall.
This is becoming scary. We are spending our money on nice looking garbage.
I’ve had a similar experience, but only now can I relate such to others and a possible problem. Curious.
I’ll have to pay more attention and try other varieties.
Thus far, I’ve only noticed inconsistent results from frozen hashbrowns and whole Russets used for a variety of purposes, including air fries.
