Published on 09 September 2022
If your Philips Airfryer homemade fries are not as expected, there might be a simple solution. Read the steps below to learn how to solve this issue yourself.
Things to consider when making home-made fries
Choose a type of potato that is suitable for making fries
It is best to bake fries in portions of up to 500 grams for an even result
It is best to fill the basket of your Philips Airfryer to only half of the total capacity for an even result
Larger fries may be less crispy than smaller fries
Shake the basket of your appliance 2–3 times during the air-frying process
Preparing homemade fries with your Philips Airfryer
Your Philips Airfryer uses Rapid Air technology, which makes the frying process different from deep-fat frying. Follow the steps below to prepare homemade fries with your Philips Airfryer:
1. Peel the potatoes and cut them into sticks.
2. Soak the potato sticks in a bowl of water for at least 30 minutes, then take them out and dry them with kitchen paper.
3. Pour half a tablespoon of olive oil into a bowl, put the sticks in the bowl and mix until the sticks are coated with oil.
4. Remove the sticks from the bowl with your fingers or a kitchen utensil so that excess oil stays behind in the bowl. Put the sticks in the basket of your Philips Airfryer.
5. Fry 300-800 g of the potato sticks at 180°C for 18-25 minutes and shake the basket 2-3 times during the hot air frying process.
