Tried The Air Fryer

Were the packaged fries or homemade? I only ask because if you make homemade they usually need a little help since the packaged variety are usually seasoned and pre soaked in brine before frying and freezing. That being said, I do not own an air fryer and have never used one.

I am assuming that you had homemade fries in there because I tried a baked potato once and will never do that again. Takes way too long. These air fryers are not for convenience time wise!

They do have some online tips for cooking french fries in the air fryer. What I like is potato wedges in the air fryer made out of a potato. I think those are awesome. Fairly healthy too.

Dixie has an air fryer but I don´t think that I´ll spend that money for the few fried food I eat. And there are several things I deep fry that don´t taste as good in an air fryer. Cheese fried empanadas are one of them.

I’ve never used one, but I imagine it’s a trial-and-error device that I just don’t have the time to try and err.

I'm curious about deep frying. Do you same the oil each time?

I don’t have an air fryer, but most people rave about theirs. I’m sure there are duds though that just don’t taste the same when cooked that way. Fries are something I just never eat unless I’m at a restaurant; I’m not sure why.

Being KETO based in my diet, I rarely get fries of my own to cook. When I do, I get the krinkle cut and heat them in the oven. They turn out just how I like them. The only fries I like from restaurants are McDonald's fries, though I sometimes get them from other places. Having an air fryer doesn't interest me since KETO is high fat. Over my years on KETO, I don't use as much fat as I used to when I first started. I do have a George Foreman grill though and I always loved cooking on it. Where I live now I have no counterspace to use it, or an air fryer for that matter.

I always put my homemade fries into a freezer bag and add a bit of oil to it and some seasoning and shake it up before putting it into the basket of the air fryer oven. We like them better than deep fried. It just takes alot of practice to get things tasting exactly the way you prefer them to.

Experiment with it before you give up. But we didn't like it when I tried one

I'm sorry your air fryer didn't make the fries very well. Have a good day.

There is a trick to getting them right. You have to figure out what works for you. I prefer them jn the air fryer to deep frying them but everybody has their own preference.

Deep frying vs. Air fryer making fries I don't like crispy fries, but deep frying them isn't good either & it really sucks when I can't have fried foods.
