What do you like to eat?
I like all sorts, just struggle with complicated recipes, I can do them just feel it takes me too long.
Cheers @monkeyspank I'll have a nosey at that

We got a Ninja duel and I honestly thought it would end up in the back of the cupboard but we use it nearly every day now. One of the best kitchen gadgets we have purchased.
I’d definitely get a dual unit next time. Never thought I’d use it as much as I have. Almost a year in and I’ve used it every day, often twice a day. It just cooks things so well and quickly. Then the whole drawer and tray goes in the dishwasher - not a sign of rust or loss of the non-stick yet either. I’ve recently started making my own chips and it does them so well and with so little oil needed.
Definitely going to start doing my own chips.
I’d be open to any tips people have. I just chop an unpeeled potato, spray it with some olive oil, sprinkle some piri piri and then cook at 180C for 17 minutes, shaking them in the tray a few times during cooking. Have only recently switched from wedges that were my go to, but don’t cook quite as well.
Never been a fan of wedges tbh, but your plan for chips was pretty much what was I going to try.
Cut the chips, cook them in the microwave for a few minutes until they start to go soft, shake them around in a closed tub to fluff and break them up a bit, then cook them in your airfryer, shake halfway through cooking. If you want them to taste like deep fried chips you can spray them with some oil as soon as they come out the frier.
A few minutes less then you normaly would, It depends how big they are and how long you cook them in the microwave.How long do you then leave them in the air fryer?

Interesting with the microwave method, will give that a try.
What are peoples go to potato?
Am a big fan of Cyprus and recently the Albert Bartlett for chipping.
Maris Piper are good all rounders but I live in a rural farming area so I buy whatever the farmers are selling.
They usually grow very good varieties so that customers come back to them.
My local farm shop does a good selection of locally grown, but has become so expensive we now dip the supermarkets before them, which a few years ago was completely the opposite.
We now mostly visit to restock on the Cypriot potato when in stock.
