You're the one that said to soak in salt water, duh! And yes, you
ARE supposed to soak them, up to overnight.

You didn't even mention rising with your fist post on the topic a
few days ago. You can't even cook French fries without flopping
over the place with different directions. So why bother even
telling us how to do frecnh fries?

I don't know if you use FB but there is a group on there for air fryer
and air oven. You can get some good recipes:

No dude they are not beans, they already contain lots of moisture,
soaking them rinses the starch that is on the outer edges of the cut
potatoes, and yes the salt will help to remove that. Rinsing them in a
strainer until the water runs clear does the exact same thing only
faster, cut maybe not as completely.

And yes rinsing them with salt will increase the sodium of the
potatoes a small bit but it will still be a good bit less than the
store bought crap.

I have been cooking fries in the air fryer for over a year now, I have
developed a way to make them tasty and crispy without being burnt. so
this is why I bother telling you how to do french fries.

Perhaps only real beef. Ever consider that?

No problem there. Those big words that you don't understand scare
you, don't they?

When soaking raw cut potatoes a bit, I wonder if you soaked them
in a strong beef stock would flavor them a bit rather than using
beef fat for cooking? I normally make my own fries from fresh
cut potatoes. They always turn out fantastic. Cut with skins on.
Ever hear of "Boardwalk Fries?"

Then they wouldn't say "natural beef flavor". When the food industry
says "natural flavor", you gotta run.

Verily. Whereas you put just about anything unknown in your mouth.

I have a minimal FB presence. Most used for WXRISK for local weather
issues. I don't like FB much.

Carol I posted that so you could get more recipes and discussion about the
Air Fryer. I am not sure why you need a huge FB presence to access it.

No matter. Up to you.

You are not alone! My Granddaughter put me on so I could see her
group. I have found a couple of things I like, ie Air fryer and slow cooker
groups. I sometimes read an other one too, but I don't post.

I'm not a fan either. For instance, I wish there would be an option to
only see new posts, like my newsreader has.

I just responded to this but now I can't find it. So, I will have
another go and if the other one turns up, apols.

I always go immediately into my Gdaughters group. I then click on 'home'
at the top and it opens up the posts in the groups I read - in succession
IYSWIM

The posts are up to date. Try it.

For example it might start with some of the posts in her group, but
then go on to Air fryer and further down to Slow cookers. You can see which
one you are in on the left. If at the top you find you are in a particular
group, click again on 'home'! Give it a try)

I only found it when I was messing around and it is most handy)
