Making French fries is not easy. First, we must carefully measure the thickness of our cut. Afterwards, many choose to leave them in water for a few minutes, in order to eliminate the starch and make them crispier. Finally, it is time to carefully calculate the amount of oil that we will add to the pan. The most common thing is that we fall short.
The task is complicated if we want them to be crispy and use the air fryer. In this case, we have to carefully measure the size of the cut, the time and the power at which we put the device.
The trick so that they come out just as crispy as in the pan is also to let them soak in water and ice and stir them halfway through, according to TikTok user Sabina Banzo, who is dedicated to sharing her “cool” recipes on social networks. .
In one of his videos, Banzo explains ten simple tricks to make the potatoes crispy if we use an air fryer.
The first thing he recommends is to always buy new, seasonal potatoes. “That information appears on the label,” he points out in his video. The second thing is to opt for the sour variety, because all potato varieties “are not suitable for frying.”
It is advisable to make “intermediate canes, neither too thick nor too thin.” Afterwards, you have to soak them in ice water for at least twenty minutes: “This way they will be super smooth.” Then rinse with tap water and dry very well, continue.
You have to preheat the air fryer for five minutes at 205 degrees. Better, put a thin layer, “so that the air can reach them all.” Finally, add a little oil and cook for 15 minutes at 195 degrees.
And another important question, this user concludes: “Remember to shake well halfway through, so that they don’t stick and are done equally on all sides.”
