First trial, Air Fryer
Hi!
I caught a refurbished Air Fryer for 29$ at Amazon. I'd been curious about them for some time. It's the Dart 1.2L version. Not super fancy but I wanted something right for a small 1-2 serving. https://www.amazon.com/photos/shared...tZfl0wEzIkmczy They are (were actually) more golden than the lighting makes it look. Cut 1 large potato (we leave skin on) and soak in cool water for 30 minutes then rinse and let dry for about 30 minutes. In a large ziplock add 1/2 ts cornstarch, 1/4 ts smoked black pepper and 1/2 ts 'dry onion rub' (or other spice blend you like). Mix then add potatoes and a 'squizzle' of olive oil. (might be as much as 1/2 ts oil in a squizzle ;-) Toss about to coat evenly then put in air fryer basket at 400F for 10 minutes then shake and another 10 minutes. The smaller ones came out perfectly. The fatter ones were good but not as crispy. Charlotte tried it next on 5 totinos pizza bites, 10 mins at 375F and they were alnost overdone. Yes, grin, my kitchen was messy and we plan to replace the counter top sometime soon. I haven't found the right countertop yet. Former owner scored it up pretty bad instead of using a cutting block. |

The money I have saved on oil has already paid for the machine. All the money I save on electricity is just a bonus. -- ____/~~~sine qua non~~~\____ |

I had minor out patient surgery Friday on my leg (nothing horrid) so was limited to standing. I made some home fun with no trip to the store using what was handy. |

If you add a little salt it helps to leech out the starch making a better french fry After you soak the fries empty them into a strainer and rinse any salt that may have attached to the fries off. I do hope you are double frying your fries.. after you rinse them dry pat them dry coat them with a couple of teaspoons of olive oil shake them in the strainer to spread the oil then single fry them for about 20 minutes at 300 f When done freeze them. Take the out and use when wanted. Just fry them at 400 f until they have reached the color that you want, it varies with each machine. > > >> >> > In a large ziplock add 1/2 ts cornstarch, 1/4 ts smoked black pepper >> > and 1/2 ts 'dry onion rub' (or other spice blend you like).

Using a mandolin to ensure the fries are a uniform size works perfectly. Buying premade fries is bad.. real bad.. so much for a low starch diet. Get a mandolin, I got mine from dollar tree for 1 dollar (I think) it may have been walmart but still inexpensive just be very careful when using those things. > >Intention was a fast fix sort of thing. you want a fast fix buy you a large container that will fit in your freezer... cut several pounds of potatoes (whatever will fit in your machine) I have found that when using a bucket machine like the one you have it is best to stand the fries up on end and start stacking them against the edges unless you only have a small order. anyway get that large container and fill it up with fries that you have cut and precooked. so when you want a quick fix for fries or a snack just go to the freezer and grab the amount you want and throw them in at 400F or whatever the max temp is for your machine and let them go for a few minutes and you are done... you can get potatoes from a farmers market for less than a dollar a pound. You can have you several pounds of fries at your disposal for just a few dollars which will be A GOOD bit lower in sodium than that store bought chemically infused potato's. -- ____/~~~sine qua non~~~\____ |

We peel and slice the potatoes and soak them for at least 20 minutes. Dump the water, pat the chips dry, toss in a bowl with about 1/2 tblsp light olive oil and then cook in a preheated air fryer for 18 -20 minutes, tossing them half way through. > > Charlotte tried it next on 5 totinos pizza bites, 10 mins at 375F and > they were alnost overdone.

Pam in an aerosol can or in pump bottle is good, too. Fried chicken in a skillet is wonderful but oh, that mess of splattering grease to clean up. No splattering grease when the air fryer is used. Head over to YouTube if you're looking for lots of recipes and lots of tips. |

"Natural beef flavor" in fries, wtf? Somehow, I expected the first letters of these ingredients to spell the word G A R Y. |
