Here’s a little recipe from a professional chef for you, cook up some tater tots in your air fryer and then melt some cheese on them and add some nacho type toppings like jalapeños and salsa. I call these Nac-tots (nachos plus tots, get it?)





Great way to kick up your Taco John's Potato Oles :taco:

I can't get my zucchini slices crispy enough in my air fryer. I know the simple answer is a mandolin. But I have been staying up researching other solutions.

Air friers loving suck rear end. My old roomates would cook up chicken nuggets and hash browns to their kids and I swear thats child abuse because it tasted like poo poo and was their version of dinner when it was their turn to cook.

gently caress these things

I own a rice cooker and haven't used it in a while. It's probably full of ants and silverfish by now.

I only know one person who talked about their air fryer, and she's my dad's drug addicted, cheating ex-girlfriend who made him try cocaine even though he's 67 and has had a heart attack before.

So based on this I have to assume everyone with an air fryer is a crummy person.

Harsh words coming from a donut.

So I have another question about air fryers. Can you slice up a potato and put that in to make fries? Or do you have to buy frozen fries?

I've done this. They come out more like homefries but the thinner you slice them the crispier they get. Works just fine.

Silverfish are 5 minutes at 350 IIRC, come out nice and crisp. Would probably take 45 minutes in a regular oven and still be soggy.

If you slice em thin and add a spritz of oil they come out ok. Don’t overload the basket and give it a shake a few times during the cooking.

I dunno why I have to explain this in more detail because you clearly don't know how to read. But read the post again, mainly the last part when I said it was also their version of dinner when it was their turn to cook.

Hope that helps.

AN A+ OPSTER (:
Lately what I've been doing is roasting up a whole big sheet of potatoes/parsnips/carrots on Sunday and then during the week I throw a bunch in my air fryer in the morning at 400 for 10 minutes which makes them crisp back up perfectly and then I drop a couple eggs over easy on top and mix em all up together and it is a really good and super easy breakfast

well, super easy unless you are forums user Jose Oquendo, then despite you following the directions I just gave exactly you some how end up like this

What kinda nuggs are we talking about it sounds like that’s your main problem like there’s nuggets from Costco that are amazing and then there’s like Tyson dinosaur nugget trash on the other end of the spectrum.

I would like to blame the lovely air fryer.

The kids could have cooked it in an easy bake oven and would have more profound lasting impressions than whatever the gently caress no effort cooking my old roomates did.

E- Also not my kids.

The only way to gently caress up air frying is if you overload it or put really wet stuff in there and expect it to crisp up. Overloading is probably the most common problem.

Can you add hamster pellets to an air fryer to smoke your tater tots?

an air fryer is handy for when I need to crisp up 3-4 tots to use as a garnish when plating, really adds that final touch to a dish

Air fryers are notoriously inefficient. That thing probably sucks down a house or two full of air just to make a set of fries. Meanwhile I’ve been frying poo poo in the same oil since I graduated so like seven years. loving air hogs.

I get that air fryers are tiny convection ovens with overpowered fans, and that the small size and strong fan lead to fast cooking times.

But how do they compare to a combination microwave / convection oven?
Just set one of those to blast the food with microwaves for fast heating while also blowing hot air around to get the crisp you so deeply desire.
