They taste pretty much the same as any other fries, but the texture is really great. Crispy outside, fluffy inside.

And it works a lot better with a thick cut (1.2+ cm), the contrast between a super glassy, not oily outside and fluffy, airy inside all throughout is really good.

For the same reason I would say, don't bother with thin cut with his air fryer version. Go thick or don't bother.

I haven't seen this in many years, it really is a spectacular way of making you feel the vastness of the universe and the difference in scales.
