    I do too. I love a gizmo. I will make these tonight as the recipe says. I'm using the air fryer for the burgers since we don't have a grill. Sometimes I make them in a cast iron skillet. My stove has two ovens. The top one is smaller and heats up and cools down fast. Today I made a hard boiled egg in the air fryer. Also love my Instant Pots for certain things. I try a lot of things - gizmos/utensils/methods etc. I like cooking the evening meal. Mr Stitchnripper just eats what I cook. We are not on any special food plans. I don't quilt all the time.

    Reporting back on that recipe. I followed the recipe including preheating the pan. They came
    out good. I did some of them in the air fryer. Also good. But they weren't that much better than the way I usually make oven fries which is scrub
    the potatoes, slice into as equal size wedges as possible, spray with olive oil or avocado oil, sprinkle with seasonings of choice and bake til
    crispy. Much easier and just about as good.

    I usually just cut potatoes, then roast on parchment paper with oil and paprika. 425 for 40 minutes, stirring halfway. Will try the boil first, but, more work... I'll see if the extra step is worth it. French Fries are my absolute favorite. But not McD type fries or frozen.

    The french fry cutter sounds cool and fun to use. We don't really eat fries that much and my kitchen has so little storage, so there's no sense in me purchasing one. I've got a couple of Chef's knives that can do the job. But....if I had the room, I'd get one. I love kitchen gadgets!

    My 8 year old grandson used it yesterday with no problem. He was amazed at how many fries one potato made. He seasoned the fries with oil and ranch powder and put in the air fryer. He was proud he could make real french fries by himself without using a knife he isn't allowed to use.
