So does Reader's Digress. AFAIK Kindle doesn't do that unless it tells

Swap out your current toaster oven for a convection toaaster oven and
put it in the same cunter space. Then send the old unit to your chruch's
or Habitat's op-shop. But, be warned, there is a learning curve on
air-frying. Bv)=
Late edit - disregard that paragraph. I see feom the following post that
your toaster over in a convection/air fryer already. Still good advice.

Title: Air Fryer Sweet Potato Tots
Categories: Five, Potatoes, Vegetables
Yield: 4 Servings
2 sm Sweet potatoes; peeled,
- 14 oz. total
1 tb Potato starch
1/8 ts Garlic powder
1 1/4 ts Kosher salt; divided
3/4 c Ketchup or Ketchup-Rooster
- Sauce mix
Cooking spray
Bring a medium pot of water to a boil over high heat.
Add potatoes, and cook until just fork tender, about 15
minutes. Transfer potatoes to a plate to cool, about 15
minutes.
Working over a medium bowl, grate potatoes using the
large holes of a box grater. Gently toss with potato
starch, garlic powder and 1 teaspoon salt.
Shape mixture into about 24 (1") tot-shaped cylinders.
Lightly coat air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place
1/2 of tots (about 12) in single layer in the basket,
and spray with cooking spray. Cook at 400°F/205°C until
lightly browned, 12 to 14 minutes, turning tots halfway
through cook time. Remove from fry basket and sprinkle
with 1/8 teaspoon salt. Repeat with remaining tots and
salt.
Serve immediately with ketchup.
Serves 4 (serving size: about 6 tots)
