Note: Add 3 minutes to the preparation time before you start frying if the appliance is
cold.
Making home-made fries
For the best results, we advise to use pre-baked fries. If you want to make home-made
fries, follow the steps below:
1. Peel the potatoes and cut them into sticks.
2. Soak the potato sticks in a bowl of water for at least 30 minutes, take them out and
dry them with kitchen paper.
3. Pour 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil in a bowl, put the sticks on top and mix until the sticks
are coated with oil.
4. Remove the sticks from the bowl with your fingers or a kitchen utensil so that excess oil
stays behind in the bowl. Put the sticks in the basket.
Note: Do not tilt the bowl to put all the sticks in the basket in one go, to prevent excess oil
from collecting at the bottom of the frying tray.
5. Fry the potato sticks according to the instructions in this chapter.
