“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.

"Air Fried Meatball 炸肉丸“

我很喜欢用这air fryer 煎或炸食物。只要煎炸出来的食物好吃，虽然没油炸的好吃，但是我因为很讨厌油腻的食物，也很讨厌煎炸后油腻的地上，所以我还是喜欢用它。以上的肉丸可直接吃， 或和红萝卜与马铃薯（也是用air fryer炸过） 一起焖煮,煮成焖肉。

2。 在每粒小球外层涂上薄薄的一层油，然后放入air fryer 以200度炸

         大概15 分钟或炸至小球外层变成黄金色即可。

注： 如没air fryer ，就用普通油炸至黄金色即可。

I like to use air fryer to fry any food as long as the result are good even though not as good as deep fry using oil directly. The main reason is I hate oily food and the second reason is my kitchen floor do not need to be mopped after frying those food. I'm satisfied with this fried meatball as it is not oilly. It can be eat directly or cook with carrot and potato( also fried using air fryer) to made stew meatball( my hubby called it Bak steak).

Ingredients:

200g minced meat

50g minced prawn

salt,MSG and pepper for favoring

2tbsp bread crumb

Method:

1.  Mix all the ingredients together until even, then roll the meat batter into

     ~9-10 small ball.

2.  Lightly brush each meatball with oil and air fried them in the air fryer for

     15 minutes in 200 degree celcius or until the meatball turn into golden

      colour. It is ready to serve.

          turn into golden colour.

“Air Fried Meat Spring Roll 炸肉卷“

相同与炸云吞，它没有汽泡在薄饼皮上，虽然还很香脆（因为薄饼皮很薄），对我来讲，因为我怕油，所以我还满意这种炸法，但是我老公（爱吃煎炸的人）并不满意这炸肉卷。

Same as fried wantan, it does not have a lot of bubble on the surface of the dumpling skin(popiah skin). Although it is still very crispy as the dumpling skin are very thin compare to wantan skin, but my hubby( a person who like fried food) does not satified with it. However, I'm still satisfied with it because I don't like oilly food. This way of frying suit me.

用air fryer 炸的云吞并不怎么满意。它没油炸般地香脆，外皮比较硬，没有油炸般的汽泡，所以不好吃。我老公说它失败。

Fried wantan using air fryer are not so satifying. It is crispy but not same as oil fried. It does not has alot air bubble like oil fried. My hubby said "rejected".
