Making home-made fries

To make great home-made fries in the Airfryer:
-
Choose a potato variety suitable for making fries, e.g. fresh, russet potatoes.
-
It is best to air fry the fries in portions of up to 500 grams/ 17.5 oz for an even
result. Larger fries tend to be less crispy than smaller fries.
-
Shake the basket 2-3 times during the air frying process.
1 Peel the potatoes and cut into sticks (1/2cm / 1/4 in thick).
2 Soak the potato sticks in a bowl of water for at least 30 minutes.
3 Empty the bowl and dry the potato sticks with a dish towel or paper towel.
4 Pour a half tablespoon of cooking oil in the bowl, put the sticks in the bowl and
mix until the sticks are coated with oil.
5 Remove the sticks from the bowl with your fingers or a slotted kitchen utensil so
excess oil remains in the bowl.
Note
• Do not tilt the bowl to pour all the sticks in the basket at once to prevent excess
oil from going into the pan.
6 Put the sticks in the basket.
7 Fry the potato sticks and shake the basket halfway through the air frying
process. Shake 2-3 times if you prepare more than 400 g/14 oz of fries.
Note
• Consult the "Food table" for the right quantities and cooking times.

Using the double-layer rack

Use the double-layer rack to maximize your cooking space.
Note
• If cooking different ingredients at the same time, make sure that the cooking
temperature and time is the same for each type of ingredient.
• Always position meats on lower level and vegetables above to avoid cross
contamination of food or unsafe transfer of meat juices or partially cooked
foods.
