Problem
Fresh potato fries
arefried unevenly
in the air fryer.
Fresh potato fries
are not crispy
when they come
out of the air fryer.
Possible cause
The pan still contains
greasy residue from the
previous use.
You may not have soaked
the potato sticks properly
before you fried them.
You did not use the right
type of potato.
The crispiness of the fries
depends on the amount of
oil and water in the fries.
Solution
White smoke is caused by grease
heating up in the pan. Make sure
you clean the pan properly after
each use.
Soak the potato sticks in a bowl of
water for at least 30 minutes. Take
them out and dry them with kitchen
paper.
Use fresh potatoes and make sure
they stay firm during frying.
Make sure you dry the potato sticks
properly before you coat them with oil.
Cut the potato into thinner sticks for
a crispier result.
Add slightly more oil for a crispier
result.
