“I love my air fryer. I like to make homemade french fries in them by just cutting up the potatoes and putting a little bit of oil on them, salt and pepper too. Then, I stick them in for about a half hour. They come out perfect every time. Also, mozzarella sticks. I make those homemade too. I take string cheese and put breadcrumbs on them. I also have these fish filets that I like to use to make sandwiches. I make handmade tartar sauce with it,” said junior University of Wisconsin Whitewater English major Kristen Boher.
