tbh looks pretty bad
strangely they're sopping with oil despite the fact that they aren't browned at all. inside is probably undercooked.
here's my advice: use less oil, use higher heat, and use paper towels to blot out as much moisture from your potatoes as possible before you fry them. don't flip them until the edges of the shredded potato appear brown
also, pat them down with the spatula so you get thin patties rather than giant chunks
