I tried two ways to do frozen fries and one was a total game changer

For months I just dumped the bag straight into the basket, but they always came out soggy on one side. Last Tuesday I tried preheating the air fryer to 400 degrees for 3 minutes first, then adding a single layer of fries. The difference was crazy, they were crispy all over. Has anyone else found that preheating makes that big of a difference for frozen stuff?

I always thought preheating was a waste of time, but you're totally right. It's a complete game changer for frozen fries.

You never preheated for frozen fries before, @mia_lee? That explains a lot. Mine always came out soggy until I started giving the oven a good 15 minutes to get properly hot first. It makes the outside so much crispier.

Honestly thought preheating was just extra steps for no reason. Tried it once and the fries came out way better, like actually crispy. Changed my whole frozen food game.
