Airfryer potatoes: how to fry? Video
Lovers of healthy food and lovers of a healthy lifestyle are increasingly abandoning the traditional way of cooking in favor of steamers and air ovens. Most often, meat and fish are cooked in an airfryer, but vegetables, including potatoes, are amazingly tasty in it.
