I finally tried tossing frozen fries in a tablespoon of oil before air frying, but my husband says it defeats the whole point
Did it at my sister's place in Dayton last weekend and they came out way crispier than the dry ones I've made for 2 years, but now he acts like I'm cheating. Is pre-oiling frozen fries fair game or should you just crank the heat and shake the basket more?

A tablespoon of oil is like 120 calories spread across the whole basket, so your husband is acting like you deep fried them in a vat at McDonald's. Tell him the dry method is basically just dehydrating potato sticks and calling it cooking. My aunt in Toledo has been doing the oil toss for years and her fries actually crunch instead of turning into sad little shoelaces. Cranking the heat and shaking more just burns the edges while the middle stays frozen, trust me I learned that the hard way. So is he mad about the calories or mad that your fries finally beat his?
