Air fryer Baked Potatoes are so easy to make, the I wished found out when I got an air fryer a while back. All you need is a potato, olive oil, seasoning, & foil to make. The only downside, it takes almost an hour to make in the air fryer
Last week I made Käsekuchen (German style cheesecake) it was easy to make and delicious!

What the hell is wrong with you? Do you know how much you just made my mouth water! Added to my list

Just for you:
Zutaten für den Mürbeteig:
- 200 g Mehl
- 0.5 Pck. Backpulver
- 1Ei(er)
- 75 g Zucker
- 65 g Butter
- Fett für die Form
Zutaten für die Füllung:
- 200 g Zucker
- 1 Tasse Ölkleine Tasse à 100 ml
- 4 Ei(er)
- 0.5 Liter Milch
- 1 Pck. Vanillinzucker
- 1 Pck. Vanillepuddingpulver
- 1 kg Quark
- Für den Mürbeteig das Mehl, Backpulver, 1 Ei, Zucker und Butter verrühren und den Teig dann in 2 Hälften teilen. Eine 28er Springform einfetten und mit der einen Hälfte den Rand formen und mit der anderen Hälfte den Boden auslegen.
- Für die Füllung alle Zutaten in einer großen Schüssel vermengen und in die Form geben. Die Füllung ist sehr flüssig und verteilt sich somit von selbst.
- Den Kuchen im vorgeheizten Backofen bei 175 °C Ober-/Unterhitze ca. 1 1/4 Std. backen (sollte er zu dunkel werden, einfach Backpapier oben drauf legen).
- Nach der angegebenen Backzeit den Ofen ausmachen und den Kuchen über Nacht zum Auskühlen einfach im Ofen stehen lassen.
Thanks. Looks pretty good. Measurements might be tricky - I’ll have to see if I have a food scale but things measured as one packet will be a real challenge. And some of our ingredients aren’t translating into terms we use ………
What is “0.5 Pck vanillin sugar”?
Baked onion. Literally just bake an onion, in the peel. Eat it with salt.
I don’t think I’ve ever made them in an oven but I I’ve made plenty in a camp fire wrapped in foil the same way as potatoes.
Stop it!
Rice. The amount of cheap simple meals you can throw together if you have rice is ridiculous.
Rice on its own is bland, but adding a lot of salt, or any other flavorful sauce can make it a pretty enjoyable meal.
When I visited Japan, it was the standard replacement for breakfast cereal even in hotels, and it makes a lot of sense.
Yesterday I made a quick peanut sauce and chopped up some veggies and boom, instant rice meal
soup. different kinds. never tried making, always seemed like magic requiring occult knowledge.
actually supper simple.

:D
Cheat’s Carbonara. I was practically making it for dinner every night anyway. Start with a basic recipe of spaghetti with olive oil and nutritional yeast. The only change is, don’t pour out all of the pasta water, and add a beaten egg or two with black pepper. Tastier, and more protein too, with almost no additional effort. Parmesan is probably more to most’s taste, but I like nooch.
Edit: if your eggs are refrigerated you’ll probably need to put it back on the heat for like a minute or two. Accept that you’ll overcook it a few times until you get the timing right.
Thank you!! I’d never thought of using nutritional yeast with pasta. Yum.
It has that cheesy taste but more of a dry texture, so it needs a touch more olive oil. It doesn’t melt either obviously but I prefer it that way
:)I have it on buttered toast, delicious. I’m trying the pasta thing tomorrow - I usually use pecarino for carbonara.
Eggs.
Its so easy to cook eggs. I like eggs. My wife and I have pet chickens. And for some reason I never think to take five minitues to make some eggs. Its basically free food, because I sell enough eggs to easily cover the feed that our spoiled chickens eat.
I think I just need to remind myself that I have them.
Eggs are like cheating at food. Full of proteins and makes you feel full like little else can.
You can cut the time in half if you use a microwave first. Prick the potatoes all over with a fork and place in a silicone tray then microwave on full for 5-15 minutes depending on size (check that it’s soft inside with a knife.) Cover in oil and seasoning then air fry on full for about 15 minutes. The silicone tray allows you to transfer from the microwave to the airfryer with minimum mess and fuss (so not essential.)
For me though, it’s homemade pittas. So much better than the flat discs of carboard they sell in the supermarkets. Takes a bit of time for proving, but I like to make a large batch and freeze a bunch, or keep some dough in the fridge and have a second meal with them later in the week.

Edit: Microwave cooking times for potatoes were a bit off
Maybe I just have a more powerful microwave but in mine I can fully bake a single potato in 5 minutes.
I probably overstated the cooking time - a regular powered microwave can cook a small baking potato in as little as 5 minutes. If yours is cooking larger potatoes in that time though then it is likely to be significantly more powerful than most domestic microwaves.
rice krispie treats
Salsa. And you don’t even need to cook anything.
Chop up tomatoes, sweet onion, a bit of fresh pressed garlic, lime. That’s the base. Then just add whatever else. Peppers, spring onions, cilantro (which I personally don’t add because it tastes like soap to me), parsley. Then to taste add a bit of salt, dash of hot sauce. A pinch of sugar can bring things out depending on the tomatoes.
Adding a bit of sour cream and/or avocado right before you eat it gives it an interesting twist.
You can keep it in a mason jar in the fridge for about a week. Probably longer but it never lasts more than a day or two in my house.
I pulled a working pellet smoker off the curb yesterday. Today I am really kicking myself for not spending 400 to 600 dollars I don’t have on something like this. I did a test run last night with the pellets in it and ate 3 plain hot dogs that were flavorful.
Gravy. I always thought it was hard, whenever I made it I’d get lumps and it would be bad. Then I learnt the trick is to fry the flour in oil/butter/fat first, then add the meat juices/stock
Risotto. It’s not hard at all, the only semi difficult part is that you have to stir frequently.
If you have a pressure cooker, it’s even easier because it eliminates most of the stirring
I don’t mind it, as I just use it as an excuse to read even more than I usually do.
Carbonara. Sounds fancy, but it’s really just a matter of mixing some egg yolk and shredded cheese together
Low effort, high payoff. Bacon is a good sub for pancetta too.
Guanciale is the traditional meat to use, but I actually prefer the less fatty pancetta. Bacon would do in a pinch but I like dicing the meat up before it goes in which isn’t easily done with bacon
I know what Im trying after work.
My favourite recipe. (context is outbreak of covid in Australia.)
Several types of soup. Also if you make soup for lunch you can eat it again the next day, so (e.g holiday or work from home) you only cook half as much as you would do.
If you’re commuting to work, you can also bring your soup and drink it there, and it’s way more price efficient than buying some food on site.

Air fryers are remarkable because you can make about everything more easily than you can without the airfryer. Instead of grilling meat in the electric grill (top half of oven), you can airer it on a baking tray and it makes clean-up easier.
Sweet potato fries, or any sort of roast vegetable, can be done easily with less oil and no gas usage from using the oven. Sweet potato stuff makes a great healthy snack for all occasion - no more tanking up on sugar!
Sounds like making a potato in an air fryer is exactly the same difficulty as any other method except microwaving.
