McCain oven chips won't cook properly?

It's happened a couple of times now, i buy a pack of McCain's normal oven chips from my local shop and when you open the pack the chips are a more paler colour and when you cook them they won't brown like they should, they just stay white and they taste like they been hardly cooked, even though they been in the hot oven for 20 mins, when you leave them in longer they brown like they been burnt rather rather than brown properly.

Anyone know why this is sometimes the case when buying oven chips.

Update:

I think it's just a case of i've brought a bad batch.

    Check your oven temperature with an oven thermometer. You are probably not using the right temp or the right time.

    Read the directions again very carefully and be sure you are following them.

    Prepared foods are tested over and over and over so the person heating them up gets good results. If you aren’t getting good results, you probably aren’t following the heating instructions properly.

    That's because fries need to be fried, not baked.

    If you like to eat fried convenience foods, consider buying an air fryer. They cost about $80 and do a much, much, much better job than baking in your oven. You can even make great fries from scratch.

    Methinks your cooking skills are lacking. Also check the oven temperature with a thermometer as it could be way out.
