Hi!! I want to make steak fries in my air fryers but I don't have the rotating basket like you do,I just have the square basket...Can the fries still be made in my air fryer?
Thanks,
Renee
Isabel Laessig says
Hi Renee! Yes, absolutely! You can still use your air fryer basket for it - you don't need the rotating kind. All you should have to do is flip the fries or shake the basket halfway through the cooking process to make sure they're properly browned and crispy. Enjoy!
