Pro tip: stop soaking your fries before you air fry them
I kept seeing recipes call for a 30-minute soak, but after testing it three times, the fries just steam and get soggy. Has anyone else ditched the soak and gotten crispier results?

Guess my soggy fry phase was just a cry for help.

My last batch soaked for 20 minutes and came out limp. I pat them bone dry now, toss with a tiny bit of oil and cornstarch, and they get a proper crunch. The soak just seems to add moisture that the air fryer can't fight off fast enough. I haven't looked back since skipping that step.
