Been reading that an air fryer is probably a splurge if you have a convection oven. I need to try some of these popular air fryer recipes in my oven.
most likely true, and we wouldn't have one if we weren't gifted one.
we also have a convection oven, but i do think there's something about the smaller basket of an air fryer that makes the air circulation (and the cook) more efficient. i haven't implemented the scientific method on this, but my hunch is one of the keys when using a full size oven is to put the food on a rack to help the air circulate on all sides of the food. air fryers usually have slotted baskets to help with this
spousal tater air fryer method:
mandoline slice the taters to a uniform thickness then knife cut the slabs to square them off.
soak in salted water for an hour or two to remove starch
lay out flat, pat dry, and pat dry again. let them sit there a bit longer to think about how dry they should be.
little drizzle of oil so the seasoning sticks
seasoning: whatever you want. salt, cracked black, garlic powder, paprika, chili powder, cayenne, etc. she also sprinkled some kraft grated parm on them.
cook time: with the air fryer at 400 i think it was three 7 minute sessions with a break in the middle of each to flip and separate.
most likely this could be done in the same time in a full size convection oven, but she's on a mission and i wasn't going to dissuade her.
