They have plastic pots that can microwave popcorn. I don’t know how it stacks up in taste to an air fryer,

Since I retired, I cut up potatoes like french fries and put a little oil in a frying pan and cook them and repeatedly turn them over. Close to french fries in taste but a lot cheaper as well.

If you don’t do this, try it, you’ll get better results.

After cutting the fries, soak in cold water for like an hour. If you have time, drain and rinse after 30 minutes and soak again.

Then dry them well.

Fry in 325 degree oil until cooked through.

Remove and drain on paper towels.

Raise the heat of the oil to,375, then refry until golden brown.
