We tried out our new air fryer today and I was impressed. We made French
fries and they were very good. It took about 20 minutes to cook them
and they had to be shaken around half way through, but they were as good
as some deep fried chips I have had. We have been over frying potatoes
since i got rid of the deep fryer, and these were much better than any
that we did in the oven.
