My sister's comment about soggy fries made me ditch the basket
My sister told me my air fryer fries were 'soggy on one side' after Easter dinner. I was annoyed but she was right, I was loading the basket too full and shaking it only once. Now I cook in two smaller batches and flip every 6 minutes at 400 degrees. Has anyone else had a family member call out something that was actually a solid cooking tip?
I used to just dump the whole bag in and call it good, figured more fries meant more food and that was that. Turns out my husband was right when he kept saying they came out limp, and once I started doing smaller batches with a flip halfway through they got way crispier. Sometimes the people eating your food see stuff you miss when you're the one standing over the fryer.
