FAQ

Q: How do I know when my steak is cooked to my liking?
A: Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. For rare, aim for 125°F (52°C); for medium-rare, 130°F (54°C); for medium, 140°F (60°C); for well-done, 160°F (71°C). Remember, the steak will continue to cook slightly while resting.

Q: Can I make the chips in an air fryer?
A: Yes! Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Toss the potato slices in oil and seasonings, then arrange them in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Q: Can I use instant mashed potatoes?
A: While homemade mashed potatoes are recommended for the best flavor and texture, you can use instant mashed potatoes in a pinch. Just be sure to add the Parmesan and seasonings for a similar flavor profile.
