Vent: my frozen fries went from soggy to crispy after I stopped doing ONE thing
I used to pile frozen fries in the air fryer basket so high they were practically touching the top, and they always came out limp and pale in the middle, even after 20 minutes at 400. Last Tuesday I finally just did one single layer, shook them at the 8 minute mark, and they came out golden and actually crunchy for the first time in like 2 years of owning this thing. Same bag of fries, same temp, nothing else changed except the crowding. How full do you all load your basket before things start steaming instead of frying?
