My sister swore by a single layer for air fryer fries, but I tried it and they came out soggy
Honestly, she told me to just cut the potatoes and put them in one layer, no shaking needed. I did exactly that with some russets last Tuesday. They were soft and pale after 15 minutes at 400 degrees. Tbh, I gave it a second go and shook the basket halfway through, and they got way crispier. Has anyone else found you really need to move stuff around in there?

Remember my mom insisting you never open the oven while baking. Tried that with wings and they steamed instead of crisping up.

Ugh, I feel your pain. I tried the single layer thing with sweet potato fries last week and they were a total flop, just limp and sad. I mean, maybe it's just me but I have to shake the basket at least once, no matter what the recipe says. It's like the hot air just doesn't hit all the sides evenly if you don't move them around.
