Homemade fries
For the best result we advise to use prebaked fries (e.g. frozen
fries). If you want to make homemade fries, follow steps below:
1. Peel the potatoes and cut them into fries.
2. Soak the fries in a bowl of water for at least 30 minutes,
take them out and dry them properly with some paper
towel.
3. Pour ½ spoon of oil in a bowl, add the fries and mix
carefully until all fries are equally covered with oil.
4. Remove the fries from the bowl with our hands or a kitchen
utensil so redundant oil stays behind in the bowl. Put the
fries in the basket.
NOTE: don’t pour the fries from the bowl into the
basket to avoid redundant from ending up in the
drawer.
5. Bake the fries as mentioned earlier.
NOTE: Add 3 minutes to the baking time if the appliance is cold.
NOTE:
*Check if the ingredients are suited for preparation in the oven.
** See USE –point 12
