My sister said my fries were 'soggy excuses' and she was right

Last Sunday I made a batch of frozen french fries in my air fryer and brought them to my sister's place for a BBQ. She took one bite and said they were soggy excuses for fries. I was annoyed at first but then I realized she was totally right. I had been piling them in the basket and only shaking them once halfway through. After she said that, I looked up some videos and tried again with less fries, a single layer, and shaking every 4 minutes at 400F for about 14 minutes. Huge difference. Now I'm wondering if anyone else got harsh feedback on their air fryer skills and what did you change? I feel like I was doing it wrong for months without noticing.

Ha! Nothing like a little sibling brutality to unlock your full fry potential. Guess she did you a flavor favor, even if it stung a bit.

Ugh, same thing happened to me with hash browns. Total game changer once I spread them out!
