French fries are fried unevenly in the air
fryer
Use fresh starchy potatoes and make sure
they stay firm during frying
Rinse the potato sticks properly to remove
starch from the outside
French fries are not crispy when they
come out of the air fryer
The crispiness of the fries depends on the
amount of oil and water in the fries.
Dry the potato sticks properly before you
add the oil.
Cut the potato sticks smaller for a
crispier result.
Add slightly more oil for a crispier result.
