COOKING FRYER RECIPES

Steps:

• Brush melted butter on the bottom and sides of a 7- or 8-inch springform pan that fits in your air fryer. Line the bottom with parchment paper and brush with melted butter.
• In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter with a spoon until the mixture is the texture of coarse meal. Transfer the graham cracker mixture to the prepared pan and press evenly with the spoon to form a level crust.
• Using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or a hand mixer and a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese on medium speed until creamy and smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the eggs, condensed milk and vanilla, and beat on medium speed, occasionally scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl, until completely smooth, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Put the pan with the crust into the air fryer, then pour the cream cheese mixture over the crust. It should almost reach the rim of the pan. Close the air fryer lid and turn the air fryer setting to bake.
• Bake the cheesecake at 300 degrees until the top is lightly browned and the center jiggles slightly, 25 to 35 minutes. It may take a little more or less time depending on the air fryer.
• Carefully remove the springform pan from the air fryer, let it sit at room temperature for about 1 hour, and then cool it in the refrigerator for 6 to 8 hours. When ready to eat, remove the cheesecake from the pan. Slice with a warm knife, wiping it clean between cuts. If desired, top with cherry pie filling.

Steps:

• Put potatoes in a large bowl and cover with cold water. Soak for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight, stored in the refrigerator), then drain and pat very dry.
• Heat the air fryer to 350 degrees, if preheating is necessary. Line a rimmed baking sheet with paper towels.
• In a dry bowl, toss potatoes with 1 tablespoon oil and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. Transfer to air fryer and fry at 350 degrees for 10 minutes, tossing halfway. Transfer the potatoes to the baking sheet, spreading them in an even layer, and let cool to room temperature, at least 30 minutes and up to 4 hours. (This step is optional; it gives the fries a slightly crispier exterior. If you want to skip it, keep the potatoes in the fryer and proceed to the next step.)
• Turn the air fryer heat up to 400 degrees. Arrange potatoes in the fryer if you’ve taken them out, and drizzle with 1/2 tablespoon oil. Cook for until golden and crisp, about 8 to 10 minutes, tossing or stirring halfway through. Transfer immediately to a serving platter and sprinkle with more salt.
• While the fries are cooking, make the sauce: In a small bowl, stir together mayonnaise, sour cream, mustard and paprika. Serve alongside the fries for dipping.
