How the fuck is it a roast potato if you cook it in the air fryer?

Call it whatever you want but if its crispy on the outside and soft on the inside and is made of potato then who really cares?

It's a roast potato because "air fryer" is a misnomer. It's really a small fan-assisted oven.

I got some of those part baked rolls from Tesco. Couple of rolls, 5 minutes in the air fryer, turned out great.

I’m eating these right now with bacon and cheese. Magic.

If your French fries aren't turning out nice in an air fryer, you are doing something wrong DP, and one shake halfway through is hardly a Labour of Hercules.

I like them consistent, not some underdone.

I prefer using an actual oven. Instead of air fryer, named air fryer for a reason. Not knocking them.

Couple of pizza/bagels , pesto salami, cherry tomatoes and mozzarella - 5-6 mins in the air thingy, bloody lovely and far cheaper than turny the oven on.

You sure you haven't bought a hair dryer by mistake?

Quite a few on the breakfast thread have made that very mistake.

Posted before but I bought her one last year, still in the box.

 

Hopefully the problem will now be solved as one of this years pressies is a book about how to use the bloody thing.

Because an air fryer is essentially a convection oven?

 

EDIT: This has already been pointed out.

So, did anyone air fry Christmas dinner?

No but I used a small oven. Well a normal oven. An oven but in some circles they might call it something else. Smart arse circles. 
 

A heat box.

Main benefit for me  is saving money on using gas for cooking stuff like chicken or sausages. Plus I don't need worry about burning stuff when I forget.

No, just did the parsnips and stuffing balls in it. Parsnips came out brilliantly.

I did my Honey roasted carrots and parsnips in mine to save on space in the oven and they were superb.

Sounds like a good idea for parsnips, the needy fuckas that they are.

Another good idea. I just used my Daughters Ninja(the big fucka one) and it was impressive on the chips and fries. Maybe the Xaomi one I bought is just shite.

Still prefer oven cooking for most stuff though.
