THE BEST Air Fryer French Fry (Ranking 7 Methods)

A couple of days ago I succeeded in making the best French fries in my air fryer, I made the fries and put them in a pot of boiling water with a teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate (not 100% sure if it helps but it does make the water foam up) one teaspoon of Himalayan salt and a half cup of white vinegar, I boil for 4 minutes and put them is a strainer, I noticed the fries has a fluffy rough texture that soaks up the olive oil and makes my garlic and herbs stick, I air fry at 400 for twenty minutes and finish off at 450 giving them a good shake. The ultimate test is that my wife and son finish them off with no leftovers.

That soak fry put in the fridge, refry is too many steps. I have a hungry bunch, and I bought an air fryer to make cooking easier and faster. That kind of preparation of French fries involves too many steps and too much time.

The corn starch Frys pissed me off bc why you making a cooking vid but clearly don't know what your doing

After you par boil them, Dry them off and then FREEZE them solid. The freezing action really breaks up the potato structure some more, and creates a better fry. Still though, I think oil frying is king

It shouldn't be this difficult. Its just fries.

What kid is going to do all this 😮

you should use vinegar for parboiling fries and baking soda for larger potatoes like roasted potatoes

I’d 86 the sauce for the taste test, which should be a more accurate comparison of the potatoes.

How about a 90 second summary instead of a time wasting 20 minute video? I hate YouTube for this...

Can we freeze the fries after the first air fry? Then 2nd fry when we want to eat some? Since it’s a lot of time involved, I was thinking of doing a big batch and use as needed….

Sa donne vraiment envie.
Je fais le test, mais c'est fascinant se qu'un détail donne à la cuisson. I need to try that and I want to eat thaaaaat

After #2, I think it would be quicker and easier to drive to the nearest McDs

You should try to add some (a lot of) oil and steer, let it soak the oil, before serving

I get superb results but i dont cut my potatoes into sticks. Slice a potato so you end up with 2cm edges, usually 6-10 chunks, then steam them for 20-25 minutes. I usually do several meals' worth. Let them cool, then into the fridge. This used to be known as batch cooking. Get home from work midweek, precooked cubes into the fryer, no messing, no 2nd fry. Just spray or toss in olive oil, rapeseed, whatever is to hand. 20 mins, 25 if you're enjoying the wine.

Way too much work for fries

King Edward or Maris Piper spuds (I think Yukon Gold are the closest ones in the US), cut up into approx 13mm (half-inch) strips, rinse in cold water, pat dry, put in bowl, add 1tbsp of cornflour/cornstarch (you WAY over did it), toss, add 1.5tbsp sunflour oil, toss again, season, pre-heat air fryer for 3min at 200c, add chips, cook at 190c for 20min, shake every 5 min. Fluffy, crunchy, quick, easy.



Personally, I like garlic salt, black pepper and paprika as seasoning.

Love your POTATO CUTTER can you give me some DETAILS of NAME and PLACE to PURCHASE

PLEASE ❤

What is the best way to cook frozen potato cakes in an air fryer?

Wow.., you took the Lord’s name in vain? What was the purpose of saying those particular words? Tell me who you support without telling me who you support. You get a thumbs down.

FINAL RESULTS: Unless you want a small appetizer after 1-1/2 to 2 hrs of work, forget about french fries in air fryer.

I always thought that the airfryer exists to speed up cooking and lower the amount of "work" and energie consumption. But the third recipe already leads this assumption to absurdity ...

Shrimp button is like the +30sec button on the microwave. It's all I use.

Potato starch works the best here

Excellently presented....Just one thing, I would advise to wash of the starch after soaking before drying the potato out.

Depends on the potatoes asto the crispiness and taste

I'm not sure why I watched the whole video.. if I'm not going to do any of those. it takes you how much work. I'll just chop them up and toss it in the air fryer😂

They're only fries. What a fuss over nothing.

Some of these processes are cumbersome

what if we want healthy french fries or as healthy as they can be lol

according to this video, better not make any french fries in airfryer because for 5 pieces of french fries you need a whole day of preparation.

I’m curious, why not use more oil? Won’t help with crisping? You can pay if off excess before serving?

Thank you for this video, think I was cured of wanting to make French fires, also they all look way overdone and closer to being burned than golden and delicious.

"Cosori is just leading the game with air fryer technology, which is why you see me using their products" I suspect it might have more to do with the fact that they're paying you lol

Ironically, this chef puts all the fries in a dip. I thought the test was for the potato and not a dip.

Heston = triple cooked 8:38

Why do you keep changing your YouTube name? It’s hard for casual viewers to keep up with you. Please stop! 🙏🏾

I paused Netflix to watch this

Seems you're crazy for acryl amide ...

Heston 90 minutes to make fries ridiculous

Other than #1 ~ What a hassle ~ Don't get me wrong the others sound great but who has the time to wait to go through all those steps ~ Really ~ If you had kids and a gun the mayhem it would cause would drive kids to use it (Just kidding) my dog would drool a pool of water in my kitchen that would cause me to call 911 ~ Thanks for your experiment ~ I learned a lot ~ Buy frozen fries and put them in your toaster oven or go to McDonald's ~

Hello

To prevent the potatoes from disintegrating, add a little vinegar to the water to prevent them from disintegrating.

stop using these sprays... the propelant ruins the teflon coating

sorry I don't want to wait 6 hour prep time when I can go to McDonalds and have them in 5 minutes

McD's fries = poison crap
