I have made perfect roasties, lasagne, chicken, salmon, cookies, tinned potatoes make incredible tater tots… and the most amazing pizzas using only Greek yogurt and sr flour for a base. Long live the air fryer.

Pasta has blown my mind though… still not sure how
 
Tinned potatoes is a thing? I don’t think I’ve ever seen them. How hard is it to peel an actual potato and cook it.
 
Anyway before I was distracted by the horror that is tinned potatoes. Should I get an air fryer or a microwave? I don’t have space for both

I have never bought them for anything other than trying this airfryer recipe

I think they are tinned in some liquid, so I guess that changes something about them? I don’t think it’s brine like with fish, anyone know?
 
I love gnocchi but I find it can be very slimy/wet and stodgy when boiled, but in the air fryer there’s none of that.
 
For people using it to bake things like lasagna, how do you do it? Surely you needs a tiny baking dish to fit in the air fryer first?
 
It's air fryer season. I've just had my first air fryer cooked jacket potato of the autumn. Soooo crispy and golden. Would recommend.

What setting did you do it on? I tried the other day but it didn't cook properly. I did like 40mins on air fryer mode but maybe I should have tried bake/ roast mode.

I don't really have settings. Maybe I do, but normally I just cook. I did it 45 mins at 200.
 
Has anyone successfully managed a hand-cut SWEET POTATO fry?

I can get a nice crisp on a PROPER BRITISH WHITE POTATO no problem but my sweet potato’s come out more like they’ve been roasted rather than a (mid-market) restaurant crispy fry.

I don't recall. I guess experimenting with temperature, different cuts of potatoes or even oil types.

I do like sweet potato fries, but they can be hit and miss.
 
I mix up some flour, salt and pepper and smoked paprika and shake it up with the sweet potato bits and some oil

Comes out OK. Usually :bruised:
