My frozen fries went from sad to amazing after I changed one thing

I used to just toss frozen fries straight into the air fryer and they came out okay but not great. Then I tried spraying them with a little olive oil and shaking the basket halfway through at 8 minutes. Now they come out crispy and golden every time, just like the ones from Five Guys. Has anyone else found a trick that made a big difference with frozen foods?

Tossing them in a little cornstarch before the oil made a huge difference for me, gets them extra crunchy. Five Guys style is the goal for sure.

Wait, soak them? Nah, you gotta try it @king.val's way first. Cornstarch is the secret for sure, that's what makes them actually crunchy instead of just greasy. I toss mine in a mix of cornstarch and a little garlic powder before they hit the oil. If you soak them, you gotta really dry them off good or the oil will spit like crazy.
