Has anyone ever had any success with doing roast roast potatoes in an air fryer? I've been experimenting and just can't get them to brown enough. Closest I come has been 23 minutes (cut small) at 200... drawer rack bit out so potatoes can sit in fat as cook. Didn't par boil as they easily cooked in middle after 20 mins.... but did rinse as youtuber said to do that but I read somewhere else that slows down the browning. Sigh.... life is hard.
Got first air fryer last week and had success with oven chips, roasted carrots, chicken fillets with oil and spices (never had chicken so juicy) and small chicken pies and reheating pasty. Oh and apart from two air fryer drawers it has like wide low bottom drawer which does pizzas rather well.
Quite pleased with test runs so far but bit of learning curve. I run my times and settings pass Grok who has been pretty spot on except for roasties. Takes up huge bit of kitchen space as well. Least I no longer have to bend down to oven no more.
