Finally getting the hang of cooking the different foods. This time, I steamed the potatoes first for 5 minutes, then, I cut them into wedges and air fried them with the grapeseed oil. Yesterday, I was getting ready to order another cooking oil mister when I ran across a video on how to "deep clean" the model I have now. Totally helped and I don't need a new one after all. I am going to order a cookbook at some point, not for recipes, but to have a technique resource right there. Will be buying more sweet potatoes, too. The white potatoes were tasty, but I like the sweet potatoes better. The kitchen circuit went out again at some point again today. No microwave to preheat, so unless I buy a small counter one, I'm stuck with the instant pot and the stove only. Nothing I can't handle, but I do have to plan a little more.

I never tried grape seed oil🤗 I want an air fryer and instapot, but I don’t have the counter space. Do you prefer one over the other or use them both equally?

I believe they make an instapot with an air fryer setting so you can get 2 in 1

I got an air fryer in December. It actually does everything, air fry, bake, toast etc. But I am still learning how to use. I would love to find more recipes that give times! I am trying the normal things that we eat but have to guess at the timing.

I just got the air fryer lid that went with my Instant Pot because of the space issue. I found a couple great sites for air frying, I think it was Livestrong and Cooking Light. I know I bookmarked them. Will post when I can get to the computer. If I had to choose one or the other - Instant Pot pressure cooker. I use it all the time.

Over to computer. Here's the first one: https://www.cookinglight.com/cooking-101/healthy-air-fryer-recipes?slide=295638#295638. Sorry, it's a slideshow, but you can choose "show all" and click on the pics.

Grrr, can't find the one page I was looking at on Livestrong, but you can search their air fryer recipes.
I am going to buy a book as soon as I find one I like. I'm a little weird in that I'm more concerned about learning technique than learning the secret to Great Aunt Mabel's one good dish kinda thing. In other words, I need an America's Test Kitchen version.

also these weren't greasy. the pic looks totally different than on my phone. I used a Misto oil sprayer, so there was just not that much oil used. I didn't use any starch coating at all, so it was potato and grapeseed oil with a little salt once cooked.

One other note, if you are cooking for a whole family on a regular basis, I don't know if the IP version of the air fryer is big enough. I'd watch some videos. I cooked a whole chicken in mine, but it was only 3 pounds, I'm looking for a 4 pound bird today, and will let you know if that fits.
