My sister in Denver said my frozen fries looked like 'sad, pale shoestrings' and now I soak them in hot water for 20 minutes before air frying.

Has anyone else found a simple trick that totally fixed a basic air fryer fail?

Oh wow, spraying them with oil first was my game changer.

And a tiny bit of cornstarch in the bag with the oil spray makes them even crunchier.

Spraying with oil first is such a good call from @nancyramirez. I was in the same boat with my fries coming out all limp and pale. Now I give them a light spray of avocado oil and a good shake of salt right in the basket before cooking. That extra step makes the outside actually get crispy like they're supposed to. My fries went from looking like wet noodles to something I'd actually want to eat.
