Making home-made fries

To make great home-made fries in the Airfryer:
Choose a potato variety suitable for making fries, e.g. fresh,
-
(slightly) floury potatoes.
It is best to air fry the fries in portions of up to 500 g/18 oz for
-
an even result. Larger fries tend to be less crispy than smaller
fries.
1 Peel the potatoes and cut into sticks
(10 x 10 mm/0.4 x 0.4 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 one tablespoon of cooking oil into 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 into the basket.
7 Fry the potato sticks and shake the basket 2-3 times during
cooking.
