Showerthought: I swore frozen fries in the air fryer were just sad oven fries, then I tried the cold start trick
For 2 years I dumped frozen fries straight into a preheated basket at 400 and got dry, hollow little sticks every time. Last Tuesday I read a comment saying to start them cold at 360 and shake every 5 minutes, and the difference after 18 minutes was wild, crispy outside and actually fluffy inside. My wife asked what restaurant they came from and I had to admit it was the same $3 bag from Aldi. Anyone else have a food that the cold start thing worked on, or is it just fries?
