My frozen fries came out soggy for a year until I finally checked the basket

I used to dump a whole bag of frozen fries in the basket and crank it to 400, and they always came out limp and pale in the middle. Last week my buddy watched me do it and asked why I never shook them or gave them room. Turns out I was stacking them 3 inches deep so the hot air couldn't get around them, and crowding was the whole problem. I started doing smaller batches and shaking the basket at the 8 minute mark, and the difference is huge, crispy outside and actually cooked through. Anyone got a trick for getting them crisp without drying them out too much?
