French fries are not fried evenly| Potato is not prepared properly.| Cut fries thinner or use precut fries.
Potatoes not rinsed properly during preparation.| Spread the fries out or cook fewer fries in one batch.
Fries are not cut evenly.| Consult the recipe for the correct potato type and preparation instructions.
Fries are too crowded.| Pat dry to remove excess starch.
