39. Air fryer French Fries

Sun Sep 8, 2024, 09:33 AM

Sep 2024

But with today's space age technology and my convection oven air fryer, I am now able to have French fries cooked oil-free and they taste as good, or better, than Wendy's (hand-cut with skin) fries imho.

Probably fried chicken bc you get the heft of the chicken, along with the tastiness, and crispiness, of the fry! electric_blue68 Sep 2024 #38
