My frozen fries went from soggy to crispy after I stopped shaking the basket

For the first year with my air fryer, I shook the basket every 5 minutes like the old bag said... and my fries were always limp. Last month, I tried leaving them alone for the full 15 minutes at 400 degrees. They came out perfect and crunchy. I think the constant shaking lets too much heat out. Anyone else find that not touching the food gives a better result?

Weird, my fries get burnt on one side if I don't shake them. Maybe it's the brand?

Did my friend's fries get crispier after she stopped shaking the basket too?
