The Best Air Fryer Fries - French Fries In An Air Fryer

  • Опубліковано 26 вер 2024
  • Today I'll share my easy trick to getting the best french fries in an air fryer! I see a lot of fries recipes suggesting soaking the cut fries in cool water, but that seems totally pointless to me. When I ask people why they're suggesting that I get various answers, usually "to wash off extra starch". But that's nonsense, they're MADE OUT OF STARCH. Anyway! The real key is to treat them just like real french fries and give them a par boil so they can get crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. And I'll show you a super easy way to do that!

    The soaking is called blanching n that commonly done when cooking fries especially in restaurants. Cleans n softens the fry so when you finally fry then it’s crispy outside n soft inside.

    Also, remember not to use something like Pam with a bunch of chemicals in it. It tends to not work very well in an air fryer. Get some avocado oil in a sprayer because it's very good for high heat, and then they will be no problems. Those wire racks are very hard to clean if stuff gets on them! I can tell you first hand

    Who has 40+ mins just to make some fries?? 😐 I thought air fryers are meant to be quicker and more convenient.
