My aunt's air fryer corn dogs changed how I do frozen snacks forever

Went to a family cookout last weekend at my aunt's place in Toledo. She threw some frozen corn dogs in the air fryer at 380 for 8 minutes, flipped them halfway. Came out crispy all around, not soggy like the microwave does. I always used the oven before but this was way faster. Anyone else find a frozen food that cooks way better in the air fryer than the package directions?

Flip them halfway through and bump the temp to 400 for the last 2 minutes if you want extra crunch. Tater tots are the other one that blows the oven away, just shake the basket every 4 minutes. French fries from frozen turn out way better too, just don't overcrowd the basket or they steam instead of crisp.

380 is the sweet spot. Tater tots changed my life in that thing.

Last week I did tots at 380 for exactly 14 minutes with a single shake at the 7 minute mark and they came out crunchy on the outside but still fluffy inside. My wife walked in and asked if I ordered takeout from somewhere because I never make tots that good in the regular oven. Honestly I think I've ruined normal oven tots for myself now, can't go back.
