Rant: My frozen fries turned into a soggy mess for a solid week

I kept setting my air fryer to 400 degrees for 20 minutes, but every bag of store-bought fries came out limp. It took me seven days of burnt edges and sad potatoes to realize I wasn't shaking the basket enough halfway through. How often do you all check and shake your food to get it crispy?

Wait, you didn't shake it for a whole week?

Honestly, my protein shaker sat in my gym bag for seven full days. I finally found it and the smell was... a unique science experiment. It's a miracle of modern laziness, really. I had to just throw the whole bottle away, no way was I opening that.

Read a cooking blog that said shaking twice is key for frozen fries. Makes a huge difference.
