Just learned air fryers use way less oil than I thought, like 3 tablespoons for a whole batch of fries

I was reading the manual for my new one last night, it's a Cosori but whatever, and it said a full basket of frozen fries only needs about a tablespoon of oil. I've been tossing them in like a quarter cup this whole time cause I figured crispy meant more oil. Did a side by side test tonight, 2 batches, one with my usual amount and one with just the tablespoon. Honestly couldn't tell the difference in crunch, but the less oily batch didn't leave that weird film on my tongue. Has anyone else been over-oiling this whole time or am I just slow?
