Beautiful technique Felu, another amazing recipe! 😎 The last technique combined with playing with the oil would be perfect. I think I'll try adding 1/2 tsp of oil or tsp of oil to the boil then use a spray every now and then whilst in the air fryer, potatoes and the oil are high calorie anyway and I think it's best to think of this as reducing oil rather than trying our best to omit it.

You'll have to let us know how that works out. I would think by freezing after boiling, it'll will take much longer than 20 minutes, because of all the water, you've made a Potato Ice Cube, I would think you'd better off Freezing the Air Fryed leftovers, and then reheat in the Air Fryer for maybe 10 minutes?.

You don't need the baking soda! Just parboil for maybe 2 or 3 mons longer, and you end up with the same result. The crispness is a result of the bigger surface area being cooked. Exactly the same as roast potatoes 🥔

@Felu Жыл бұрын

1.) I boiled them for 7-10 mins in boiling water and added them in when the water was cold so it was more like 9-12 min 2.) If you use more water then you also need slightly more salt baking soda. Adding more salt is fine but don't go crazy on the soda because it can leave a weird aftertaste when overused.
