Just realized my frozen fries went from soggy to crispy in 8 minutes after I stopped crowding the basket.

I used to dump the whole bag in, but after a test run with just a single layer, the difference was night and day, so what's your go-to trick for getting things perfectly crispy without burning them?

Try shaking the basket halfway through cooking. It sounds simple, but it makes sure every side gets direct heat, which is the real key. I learned that the hard way after a few batches of uneven, half-soggy fries.

Do you preheat the air fryer first? I've heard that helps but I'm never patient enough to wait.
