How to Choose Fresh and Delicious Potatoes
- You should choose potatoes that are yellow as they will be tastier and more nutritious than white ones.
- Do not choose sprouted potatoes or those with green skin, as these contain harmful substances for health.
- Good potatoes are those that feel firm to the touch, have smooth skin, and are free from bruises or strange spots.
- Do not buy potatoes with deep dents or scratches, as these will spoil quickly and cannot be stored for long.
Notes when roasting potatoes with an air fryer
- Preheat the air fryer for 3 minutes at a temperature of 100 to 150 degrees Celsius before cooking to help stabilize the temperature inside the fryer, ensuring the food cooks more evenly.
- Choose food that fits well in the frying basket, especially make sure to dry the potatoes thoroughly before frying to protect the lifespan and prevent the cooking time from being extended.
- Depending on the amount of potatoes being used, whether they are thin or thick, adjust the temperature and cooking time accordingly for the air fryer. You can refer to the suggested cooking time and temperature provided on the air fryer or the manual included with your first use.
- If you find the color and crispiness of the potatoes are not to your liking, you can adjust the temperature and time to continue frying.
