yeah, my main problem with air fryers is just that they move the stuff around too much, that especially makes potato chips crappy
and i also learned with slow low temp deep frying with sunflower oil and potato chips that you can even tell when they are finished, because a lot of them start to float, because the interior has become mostly dessicated and only contains -basically - steam, and small air cavities all through it
i remember when slow cooked "kettle" chips first appeared, i love that stuff, and it's definitely more healthy for you than regular fry at higher temps... if the seed oil is at or near smoke point it's the acrylamide thing... and i can smell it, it does put me off, now i think about it
makes me think... i should try and put together the proper kit to make slow cooked deep fried french fries, including a good temperature controlled cooker rig that lets me do slow cooking
i am enjoying the low carb at the moment but slow cooked fries are really high fat, i mean like maybe half the weight is fat... so it's a good way, if you can avoid the problems, to get a very high fat content
idk, just would be nice to have some slow cooked deep fried taters once or twice a week anyway
