Equipment

  • 1 Airfryer or Actifry

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 kg Baked Potato
  • 14.8 gram Vinegar
  • 36 gram Salt
  • 27.6 gram Oil neutral taste
  • Salt for seasoning the finished fries

Instructions

  • Peel (or don't) the potatoes and cut them into sticks. They should be roughly 1 x 1 cm in thickness.
  • Place the potato sticks in a bowl with lukewarm water.
  • Drain the water and refill the bowl with lukewarm water.
  • Repeat the process once more. Now you will see that the water has become clear, which means most of the starch has been removed from the potatoes.
  • Bring a pot of water, vinegar, and salt to a boil and add the potato sticks to it.
  • Let it boil for 7 minutes.
  • Drain the water from the potatoes and place them on a clean kitchen towel.
  • They need to dry and cool down. I usually give them 20-30 minutes in the freezer, so they become cold and dry.
  • Put the potatoes in a bag and add 2 tbsp of oil. Close the bag and shake well to distribute the oil.
  • Place them in your airfryer/actifry and cook them for 25-30 minutes at 200 degrees Celsius (392 degrees Fahrenheit).
  • They should change color and then they are ready.
  • Pour them out onto a clean kitchen towel and season with salt on top.
  • Serve immediately.
