Awesome recipe!!! They came out awesome! My wife and I loved them! Thank you so much for posting this!!!
I’ll never do home fries any other way again! These were perfect! And my husband agrees!
I’ve been doing this great recipe in my Ninja Foodi but I don’t know if I shouldn’t put in the crisp basket or just the cooking pot….. i put a little less black pepper as I find it is a bit tpoo much
Realllly gonna try this!! But I’m lazy and intend to use frozen cubes. How much would I need to get the same weight as the 6 potatoes?
New to the air fryer community, “These turned out perfect”.
Thanks for sharing. I was beginning to have buyers remorse.
