The great frozen french fry debate: bag directions vs. my own method

I tried making a bag of Ore-Ida crinkle cuts in my air fryer last night. The bag said 12 minutes at 400 degrees, but they came out pale and soft. I ended up having to run them for another 8 minutes, shaking every 3, to get them crispy. So, do you all follow the package times or just ignore them and cook by sight? What's your go-to time and temp for frozen fries?

Bag directions are a total lie, maybe it's just me but I never trust them. I just keep shaking the basket until they look right, idk. My air fryer is basically a guessing game with extra steps.

Honestly my air fryer is just a tiny food casino where I gamble on whether things will be burnt or frozen.
