Air Fryer Polenta Fries

[JoeH]

Instead of regular french fries, I tried using polenta to make fries and the result was very good.
I bought a tube of pre-cooked polenta, and cut it up into french fry size pieces. I coated each piece with a bit of olive oil then dredged them in Italian bread crumbs with a few extra spices. Into the air fryer at 370 for about 20 minutes, then cranked it up to 400 for 5 minutes. Out came golden brown polenta fries.... very tasty

Air fryers and Instant Pot Duo or Ninja Foodi ?
Which is the best all round favorite and why?

All have their strengths and weaknesses.

We use an Instant Pot Duo and we love it. The only thing it doesn't do is air fry which is a fad and really just an oven with a strong fan. I can do the same thing with my counter-top Kitchenaid oven. One of my favorite things about the IP is that I can pull stuff from the freezer last minute and have dinner ready in under an hour.

The Instant Pot and Ninja are mostly the same, and AllClad makes an electronic cooker like this as well.

Air-fryers are single-taskers, where the Instant Pot and Ninja are multi-taskers that can include air-fry depending on the model.

This post brings back memories.... I'll have to make them again !

Did you know you can also make Pillsbury biscuits in the air fryer ? Google it.... they come out great. We don't have an oven in the MH, so this is a super alternative.

Baked potatoes come out greet in the air fryer too

Actually the consistency is just like a regular french fry .. but no grease and yes, sorta like corn fries.. aka grit fries !

Close to fried mush- a Bob Evans favorite if mine 🙂
