Thank you! Very good. Waxy, boil 7 mins w salt and baking soda, then toss with olive oil spray, air fry at 400 for 22 mins, shake 3 or 4 times, yes! (+paprika, pepper, garlic salt, etc.)
I thought it was mealy potatoes?
@@u-n-i Yes he said mealy potatoes 2:56
The concentration of people nowadays needs a whole new unit of measurement.
Just made these tonight and they came out perfect! My friends couldn't get over how crunchy they were and how flavorful without all the salt and fat. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe!👍
Nice :) thank you
IT WORKED! I've tried so many recipes and nothing compares to this. I'm wondering why restaurants don't make their fries this way 🤔
The baking soda is like magic. I guess restaurants deep fry them so there is no point of doing this
Still not as good as deep fry definitly far
More time consuming -> more labor hours -> more expensive
@@PeanutButterRedneck
Yeah. Pretty museums tried enough I guess. Gonna try it some day anyway, just for fun.
@@mcb9644 of course not but these are much healthier...
first time im watching cooking videos made by a fellow german. when i saw my fav salt brand i squealed. sometimes i cant get ingredients that are staples in other countries supermarkets cause i live in a small town, but here? thats stuff i have in my kitchen and thats very exciting. thank you!
Made these tonight - this recipe WORKS! Thankyou for sharing, it’s nice that you tell us how it works also 👏🏻
You are a GENIUS! This technique absolutely DOES make crispy air-fryer fries. Thank you so much for sharing.
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.
Wow, randomly stumbled upon this video and my god, these are most crunchiest, thanks.
The technique is simple yet so effective.
Kudos and huge thanks
Thank you so much for this!
I’ve tried several methods, and yours was / is the best! Crispy perfection.
Wow! You are like some kind of French Fry professor!
I'm going to do it this way and see how I like it. Many thanks for your video.
This is how I cook roast potatoes, but boil them for a bit longer. Never thought to do that for chips or to add baking soda - will definitely try this!
The power of chemistry! 😂
OMG are you kidding me? They are perfect! I can't believe I had the secret in the cupboard the entire time. Thank you so much!
Thanks Felu! 🙏🏻
Jawohl! This seems like the perfect recipe I have been looking for ! Great vid and so many great comments. Thanks for taking the time to make this video.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for this!!! Tried your method for the first time today and we never had such crispy fries with the airfryer before, without taking ages to prepare. Definitely going to use this from now on 😊👍
Thank you for doing all this experimentation and research for me! lol. I seriously appreciate it.
The best fries I've cooked, that boiling trick is the key. Thank you
I just did it and it’s absolutely delicious! Thank you so much for sharing this with us! ❤️❤️❤️
Glad you liked it and thank you for the feedback :)
I was sceptical at first cause I made tons of variations but they were all pretty much the same but this one is really insane! The best potatoes ever, thank you so much for the idea ❤
Glad you liked it!!
I’m salivating, cannot wait to try this Felu!!
I'm going to try this recipe....I'm new to the air fryer and excited to get going.
Can't wait until that cookbook comes out!!!
I will test this next week! Like your explenation of the prossess.
Made these tonight ! So good 🔥
Definitely going to try these!
Yumm that looks great! Thanks for sharing.
I used to do this for Pan Roasted Red Potatoes, boil in salted, garlic and baking soda water, drain and season with a little more salt and paprika then let them cool for an hour and then pan roast them with no oil and the Red Waxy Potatoes get crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.
favorite cooking youtuber rn keep it up
Thank you!
My man putting in work!
Felu for president. Finally, someone with a brain who can give us something we can really use.
I’m cooking potatoes right now lol wish I would have seen this earlier! Gotta try this next time
Nice recipe. Yum yum yum ☺️
For the best, healthiest and crispiest British chips, finally, someone who knows what he's doing. Parboiled with salt and bicarb, is the best way. NO oilive oil, but a small amount of any other. Way to go!!
Excellent video. So great to see you took J. Kenji Lopez’s tip on added the baking soda,,,it works great.
nice work, thank you for posting this !
I’m literally SO excited for your cookbook, can’t wait until it’s announced/released
I'm 4 recipes away from finishing it. I hope I can get this done in the next couple of weeks
@@Felu 🥳🥳🥳
Works great, only thing is 8 mins in boiling water was wayyy to soft for me, i could almost make mashed potatoes with them. (they still turned out really crispy tho)
So i recommend watching them closely at the 4-5 mins mark and make sure they're not getting too soft.
The video actually said to simmer not boil, for 7-10 min. .
@@winstonwolf6791
yeah true. Didn't pay attention in the first watch.
I made it again making sure its only simmering and it was better
I've just made them this way anda they are delicious!!
Very good vid, will try. Appreciate it!
This is great stuff 💪
I never thought to add baking soda! YES!!!! everything else I've always done with my potatoes when making french fries but could never get that nice crisp to them. I also have an air fryer that comes with a tumbler basket for fries so I don't need to interrupt the cooking process.
Baking soda is the magic item :)
Haha forewarning guys, I overadded my baking soda (tried to guesstimate 💀) and taste got affected so be careful with that (might also have been an amateur mistake on my end, first time making fries)
(also i think the breaking down of carbs into glucose made my potatoes sweet LOL)
😂😂
Great trick! I haven't managed to make crispy air-fried potatoes either yet! If this work - I will always be grateful! 😅😁
Did it work?
I’ve manage to make crispy fries in airfyer but i never tried baking soda . I will definitely try this next time , lets see how they turned out .
How was it?
You're a scientist ❤thank you
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 🥔
Great video!
I love airfried potatos its my favorite meal at the time with chicken this trick ist in one off your videos in the chicken playlist i always use it because off you
Well, I’m very impressed! Great video, great advice
Thank you!
Yo. I never comment on food videos. Great Job. I made these exactly to your specs... AMAZING! 👍💯🍟
Thank you very much. Great video
Thank you !! Making this today 😁
Hope you enjoy
This one looks f***ng amazing. Gonna try it for sure.
Amazing tip
Trying this tonight!
Das schwarze Ostmann Gewürzsalz "für Geflügel" ist einfach Bombe für Pommes
very good interesting must make some
Fantastic!
IT WORKS!!!!!! YUM!!!!
Thank you for this hack
Tried it this evening ..... Fab!! What does the baking soda actually do?? Also a little corn starch added to the oil and spices helps even more with the crunch !
I love you so much I couldn’t figure out out how I could do this
Bro I followed this and I just had the best fries in my life and I don’t even know how to boil an egg. Thank you.
I'm going to vacuum seal then freeze the potatoes after boiling. That way my kids can make fries in 20 minutes at any time. Keep them in our deep freezer.
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?. I've bookmarked this comment, so when you try your way, post your comment on how it went, and I'll try my "idea" and I'll post my feedback. I might have time to try this, this Weekend, Oct. 8-9
@@Timinator62have you tried your method by any chance?
@@StertyOG No, I've never had any leftovers to experiment with. 😋 My family prefers Tatter Tots from the Air Fryer so that's what I make, they take 20 minutes.
@@Timinator62 ahhh I was wondering because I started meal prepping and thought it would be a great idea but I just don’t know if the taste will be affected 😅
@@StertyOG Well if you try either idea let us know. My fryer isn't very big so there's never leftovers to experiment with. Onion Rings and Tater Tots are all I make in the Air Fryer these days, and both are precooked and then frozen, so that's why I came up with my "idea".
Expensive to make in these challenging times.
Was thinking of trying this method as I use it for roast potatoes, happy to see it works with chips too! How would you recommend cooking these so that they can be batch cooked and frozen for reheating when needed? Bake all the way or parbake them?
that slurry creates extra surface area on each plank. its pretty much the same reason why sprinkling bread crumbs on your mac and cheese is soooo fire. now i want to add potato crumbs to the top of my mac and cheese. oh snap, mac and cheese hashbrown casserole!!!
Tip: Add some vinegar too. Then your potatoes will be crispy and won't break so easily. Plus it adds a nice background flavor to them.
FELU!!!!!! I just made these yesterday and I am OBSESSED - thank you so much for all you do!!!
Thank you:)
Clean presentation and good camera work. The only issue with an air fryer is that you can never make enough, they are simply to good. For a feast for the whole family, you need to break out the giant oven pan.
yes that's absolutely right. air fryer are perfect for single servings
I will try this also thanks
dude are you sent by god?
I was literally starting to get informed on food and nutrition because i want to be a healthier version of myself, and your channel is a godsent
Nice!
My man out there in Germany saving our macros and keeping food tasty as hell
Thank you gru
Glad you did not include the skins. In Brasil they use the skins, to kill cockroaches. It does not matter which potatoe they use. They gather them and put them in the oven, till they turn crispy, then they leave them in different corners of the room.
Will try your recipe soon!!
Nice trick…will try this next time although I am a skin on the fry guy. I normally use avocado oil spray. I assume that won’t really make a difference.
It won't make any difference no. The most difference makes the baking soda
I've never managed to make crispy airfried potatoes. Let's see if you've got the magic recipe!
and?
Yep this actually works.
Made the best air fries so far, both taste and texture wise.
those look exactly how the place i buy them from look. now i can replicate it at home.
Can we add those seasonings to the pot too or do we season the potatoes before putting in the air fryer
Olive oil spray bottle for the win!
Hey Felu! Loved the video!
What are your thoughts on doing videos focused on vegetarian sources of protein (not whey or casein, but lentils, legumes, beans, etc)?
Maybe in the future but I'm not a vegetarien or vegan so I'm not n expert
GREAT!
Wow. I"ve been using salt and vinegar in the boiling water. The reason I used vinegar is to keep the pectin IN the fry so it wouldn't lose structure. Haven't been satisfied with this. Never thought of using the opposite of vinegar(an acid) which is baking soda(a base). Gonna try it and get back.
Vinegar is perfect for french fries so they keep their shape.
@@Felu You mentioned the alkaline being part of breaking down the carbohydrate in the potato. Would alkaline water work the same way?
Thanks a lot for the tips.
Does it work with sweet potatoes as well ??
Respect!
Dietary fibre is extremely important for health and your gut micro biome. So removing skin does reduce its nutritional properties and allows the starch to be absorbed and converted to glucose more quickly
Have you tried roast potatoes this way, cut into bigger chunks and air fried? To see how they compare to real roast par boiled roast potatoes?
Fascinating technique, will definitely try this out!
At what stage do you think you should add the garlic powder, black pepper, or smoked paprika?
I would add them after frying with a bit of oil
when you hear this accent, you know you are going to have the best meal ever
a couple questions;
1) do you boil the water first then add the potatoes and simmer? Or do you add the potatoes, bring the water to a boil, then simmer for 7-10 mins?
2) wondering if the ratio of water/salt/baking soda changes if you're cooking more potatoes?
Thank you! Can't wait to try these out!
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.
@@Felu so boiling it on high for 7-10 minutes or did you bring it to a boil then down to medium or low to simmer for 7-10?
That’s what I’m confused about
You can also use vinegar instead baking soda. Makes them tastier and still lets them get crispy without breaking apart
I am curious about this as vinegar is basically acetic acid while baking soda is alkaline.
@@cgisme Boiling the cut potatoes with salt and vinegar is my go to method. I love the subtle acidic taste as it reminds me of the fries old cafeterias made when I was little. Additionally it makes the fries less likely to break from being boiled and keeps the fries nice and fluffy inside once you made them crispy in the air fryer. give it a shot!
When's the best time to add pepper/garlic/paprika? When boiling, when coating with oil or when serving?
Try using avocado oil spray since it has a higher smoking point.
2:56 insane
The main reason I never peel my potatoes is to save time. It's just a waste of time to me to peel them. But I never knew the fact about the nutrients in the skin. I always thought most of the nutrients were in the skin...so thanks for that info.
I always boil my potatoes to par cook them so that they don't overcook in the oven, deep fryer, pan etc... it's such an important step and it's a mark of a professional or experienced homecook when I see the boil then bake/fry method.
How does it prevent overcooking?
@@thebesttdog8 poaching or boiling is more gentle and doesn't toughen the skin like frying in oil. You can cook fries in oil twice however to avoid this problem essentially doing a confit at a lower temp first and then a fry at a higher temp. Generally though this still ends up in overcooking and can result in a tough, somewhat leathery fry.
If you want to accurately track the oil spray, just spray with the bowl on top of a scale and add the grams of whatever oil your using on the tracker
isnt this obvious😁
Haha I had the biggest “duh” moment the first time I realized this 😂 but this is actually good advice because it’s really helpful when you’re on a diet
Not many people will have scales that measure that little weight.
@@dorkwell yeah for some reason my scale doesn't track minor differences. If I take 6 teaspoons of salt and pour them in 1 by 1 my scale is extremely inaccurate at measuring the weight, same with olive oil and any other seasoning. Might have to get a better scale soon
@@dorkwell believe it or not a couple sprays add up to more than 5g easily. If you cook many times a day and go crazy on the spray you could be adding couple hundred calories just like that
What do you do to mitigate acrylamide? I see the fries are a bit brown.
