My daughter got an air fryer in her SideDeal IRK. You guys said to make fries. She doesn’t like fries. So we made donuts. AIR FRYER DONUTS ARE AMAZING.
@mossygreen I asked if she wanted to try again. She still said no. And she got my 3 piece purple luggage set! Turned out to be a good call on her part.
@RiotDemon@sammydog01@Lynnerizer Yikes, that might get you burned at the stake (or steak) in Belgium, as Pommes Frites are more of a religion than a food over there. And never, ever call them French Fries, or you will get “the look” and a helpful history lecture about how the Belgians invented them, NOT the French.
The Belgians deserve all credit and respect for their marvelous culinary innovations.
That said … this is ‘Murica. And we “invented” claiming everything we like as being our own; “and just deal with it already, ok?”
And we invented French fries as a major food group. And as a point of controversy in international politics. Freedom fries, anyone?
And we invented the drive-in hamburger, fry, and milkshake stand. And we invented DQ and McDonalds.
And we invented kids putting fries into their hotdogs and hamburgers. And we invented using fries in omelets, or with caviar, or w chili and cheese, or w jalapeños or habaneros.
How does the Belgian capacity to invent dishes of true culinary delight stand up against the onslaught of promotional pop culture food from the New World?
Besides: since we’re ‘Muricans, history (including food history) is something we usually make up as we go
Much applause to the Belgians tho, for giving us something so wonderful; that we might culturally make off with it, and claim it as our own.
@f00l@RiotDemon I had a friend back in the day who had a Fry Baby exclusively for donuts from refrigerator biscuits. I wonder if they still make them.

The only way I ever fry anything is in a Fry Daddy that’s on a 12’ extention cord out the back door! I can’t stand that fried food smell hangin round the house for days. Yucka!
I got a bread maker in my January IRK. Been making quarantine bread every day for months. But I also received air fryer filters. Made me want an air fryer to go with 'em. Still want an air fryer but will settle for bread for now. Not enough counter space for two monster bricks.
@katbyter it was an April fool’s thing. Started here and if you read the description there was a link to side deal with a choose your own story that eventually lead to an IRK.
This is the first thing that made me actually want an air fryer.
@Thumperchick You use refrigerated biscuits. Fresh hot donuts in 5 minutes.
@sammydog01 @Thumperchick I’ve kind of wanted an air fryer since I read this article:

@mossygreen @Thumperchick I’ll try that next week. Yeast is back in stock!
@mossygreen @sammydog01 @Thumperchick You sent me down a rabbit hole on her site. A very yummy and slightly strange rabbit hole, to be sure.
I hate you.
Those look so good
And she was originally doubtful about even getting an IRK, right? Rookie.
@mossygreen I asked if she wanted to try again. She still said no. And she got my 3 piece purple luggage set! Turned out to be a good call on her part.
So did you make enough to share?
/giphy smile
@tinamarie1974 I did make enough to share. And then ate them all.
@sammydog01 @tinamarie1974 Serves one.
How does she not like fries??
What about other potatoes? Hash browns?
@RiotDemon
@RiotDemon
Aren’t fries considerd a food group?!
/giphy favorite food french fries

Oh look. Now I have to get an air fryer.
@acrylic
get 2, they are small
or you can share
For anyone curious, you can use biscuit dough to make donuts in a real fryer or just a pot with some oil.
@RiotDemon
It’s more fun, tho, if you first get an incredible bargain on a completely unneeded and in-the-way kitchen appliance.

I just spend money at my local donut shop. They really appreciate the income after being shut down. I hope they make it.

@f00l @Lynnerizer @RiotDemon @sammydog01
yep, they sure do:
I’m afraid your reason for getting an air fryer has holes in it.
@mehcuda67
I’ll eat that!

I only eat donuts like once a year when I go to the cider mill but those look so freaking good.
@sammydog01 Wait – they have IRKs on SideDeal?

Friday is National Donut Day!
