PSA: stop stacking frozen fries in a pile, they steam instead of crisp

I did two batches of Ore-Ida crinkle cuts Tuesday night, one dumped in a heap and one spread in a single layer, and the piled ones came out limp and pale at 400 degrees for 14 minutes. The spread batch got actual brown edges in the same time, and it was the same bag. Anyone else figure this out the hard way, or do you shake the basket halfway too?

Nah, piles work fine if you shake halfway.
