    I’ve had an air fryer for years and I love the thing but you can’t honestly say it’s as good as deep frying. I’ve also had the hash browns you linked and if you deep fry them they are indistinguishable from McDick’s, but the air fryer just doesn’t make the cut.

      Well, it’s certainly not to say that an air fryer is as good as deep frying in all circumstances, that’s definitely not the case.

      But as far as these hash browns go - and I swear, I’m not being glib here - I literally cannot tell the difference between these things air fried and McDs. Like I have specifically gone and gotten McDs just to test the theory and I just can’t say that I find them any better at all.

      Not to mention, even if there was a perceptible difference in flavor or texture or any of it - air frying is definitely marginally healthier, so in my book: a win for air frying.

      But if you just plain disagree, I don’t mean to call you a liar. It’s just how I feel about it.
