Potatoes + Air Fryer?

[runpunkrun]

I admit, I have potatoes on the mind. I've been thinking of trying to make my own French fries with one of those air fryers. Anyone got any first-hand experience with them?

No, but I'll be watching the thread. I want one myself.

My library system recently added a "Library of Things" catalogue containing actual THINGS you can check out for a week, and they have air fryers! I thought it'd be an awesome way to give it a try without having to buy one.

That is really, really cool.

We made the most kickass potatoes for Thanksgiving.

We mandolined up some potatoes, sprayed cooking spray in little ramekins, coated the potatoes in olive oil and butter, put the potatoes on their side in the ramekin (like a roll of coins on its side), pulsed up some rosemary with salt in the food processor, sprinkled that on, baked until brown and awesome.

Literally everyone loved these potatoes. So good.

Mashed potatoes topped with sauteed cabbage&apple and shredded cheddar cheese. (Does that need more of a recipe? Shred the cabbage thin and cut the apples to slivers, and sautee together in whatever fat sounds tasty. Start the cabbage first if the apples are a type prone to falling apart. Season with salt and pepper and whatever else sounds tasty -- I often use sage or dill or mustard or cumin.)
