Making home-made fries
Cleaning
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 quantities of fries tend to be less crispy than smaller portions.
1 Peel the potatoes and cut into fries (10x10 mm / 0.4x0.4 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 pan at once to prevent
excess oil from going into the pan.
6 Put the sticks into the pan.
7 Fry the potato sticks and stir them 2-3 times during cooking.
Warning
-
Let the pan and the inside of the appliance cool down completely before
you start cleaning.
-
The pan has a non-stick coating. Do not use metal kitchen utensils or
abrasive cleaning materials as this may damage the non-stick coating.
Clean the appliance after every use. Remove oil and fat from the bottom of the
pan after every use.
1 Press the on/off button to switch off the appliance, remove the plug from the
wall outlet and let the appliance cool down.
Tip
-
Remove the pan to let the Airfryer cool down faster.
2 Remove the frying insert from the pan.
3 Dispose of rendered fat or oil from the bottom of the pan.
4 Clean the pan and frying insert in a dishwasher. You can also clean them with
hot water, dishwashing liquid and a non-abrasive sponge (see "cleaning
table").
