“Air Fried Homemade French Fries "炸"自制薯条”

Update( 10/11/12):

Bought another batch of yellow flesh potatoes and try it. Again succesfully get the cripsy skin and soft inner crinkle fries using air fryer. Forgot to capture the waffle fries' picture just now. It look much more better than previous picture. It is very crispy too!

p/s: Photographing skill not good. Picture not enough sharp.

**************************************************************

First trial on using my new cutter( my hubby called it my new toy) to make the crinkle fries. I'm using the yellow flesh potatoes that ready in the kitchen.

It turn out crispy at the outside and soft in the inside for the crinkle fries and the waffle fries are totally crispy. Will try to make thicker one next time.

Below is the step I used to make above fries.

Methods:

1. Peel the potatoes skin and wash clean.

2. For crinkle fries, just cut the potatoes into about 4-5mm think into think 

    slice and then cut the thick slice into crinkle fries stick.

3. For waffle fries, use the wave cutter or wave slicer to slice/cut it. Those

    captured in picture are using the wave slicer, that's why is is very thin.

4. After that, soak the fries into cool water and add in some salt for 30 

    minutes.

5. Boil the fries until half cook but not too soft. You can use folk to check

    whether it can cross thru the potatoes or not.

6. Then, drain the water and dry it on kitchen paper towel. Spray some oil or 

     add in 1 tsp of oil to the dry fries evenly.

7. Finally put the fries into the air fryer and fried it at 180 degree for about 15

     mins or until it turn golden. Waffle fries took shorter time as it is very

     thin.

Notes:

   I tried to use russet potatoes as recommended by most of the people but it

    failed after 3 tries. Each time it turn out uneven dark brown and the skin

    never crispy.  I experimented by same step as above, soak in boiled water

    for 30 secs and not boiled it at all. All 3 method also produce same soft

    fries and uneven colour which is not attractive at all. They may turn out

    nice if use oil to deep fried.

Will try again using the yellow flesh potatoes.
