Everybody I do know who owns an air fryer swears by them, which might be sufficient to make me purchase one ― besides that I like my softer, chunkier chippy chips an excessive amount of.
Each air fryer chip I’ve seen has been on the thinner, crispier aspect, and whereas I admire the pace and low-oil magic concerned, it’s simply to not my style.
Seems I used to be mistaken to imagine the beloved equipment can’t handle chip shop-worthy fries although, as budget-friendly recipe YouTuber It’s Keith shared on his channel.
“I didn’t need a triple-cooked chip,” he stated of his recipe. “I need extra like a chip store chip, and I’ve simply had a go, and… [I’ve] simply eaten the lot.”
“Actually precisely the identical as a chip store chip with a bag of frozen chips,” he added.
How’s it achieved?
Keith used a bag of thick, “home-style” frozen chips.
He positioned among the spuds in a microwavable container (“ideally with a lid on it”) and crammed it to the highest with lukewarm water.
“You need to depart that for a couple of minute,” he stated.
“You need them to go a little bit bit gentle on the skin however be sure that they’re nonetheless frozen within the center.”
After a minute, he drained them, positioned the lid on the container, and shook the chips “such as you do together with your roast potatoes.”
“Simply so that you get that little bit… of a crunch.”
He then pops the container with its lid on, however barely ajar, for 5 minutes within the microwave, pre-heating the air fryer as much as 200C as he waited.
Then, he unfold a single layer of chips into the basket and left them within the air fryer for quarter-hour.
“Don’t contact them, after which flip them over for 5 minutes,” he stated ― so 20 minutes cooking time in complete.
After that, he tossed the new chips in salt and positioned them again within the air fryer for an additional 5 minutes.
Then the chips had been achieved ― he simply coated them in salt and vinegar whereas sizzling.
