TIL my old oven fries used a whole cup of oil, now I just spray them.

Switched to an air fryer after my electric bill hit $150 in December. Anyone got a good trick for extra crispy skins?

Just add a little cornstarch.

Oh perfect, @lee733. That's the secret weapon for basically any sauce that's too thin. I keep a little bowl next to the stove just for mixing a teaspoon of cornstarch with cold water before stirring it in. It thickens things up without making them gloopy like flour sometimes does.

But cornstarch makes the sauce weird and shiny, blake302.
