Do any of you guys use an Actifry or air fryer?

The idea behind it is that you can cook certain foods which may typically be deep-fried using a tiny amount of oil. It's kind of like steaming but with a little oil instead of water. I use one (almost exclusively for potatoes) and I'd recommend it. You just cut a potato up (leave the skin on) and throw it in there for 30mins.

Does anyone else eat a lot of potato? I've done some reading and everything suggests that potatoes with skin are more nutritious than brown rice... GI and calories are almost identical. I'll let you do your own googling to back it up but all the top results read something like this:
"Overall, potatoes contain more vitamins and nutrients than rice, but when you add toppings such as butter, sour cream, gravy, bacon bits and salt, the number of calories and fat grams in a baked potato increases significantly. " - and obviously with these types of fryers you don't add any of that shit. Just a bit of high mono-unsaturated oil.
