These are awesome fries with just the barest hint of apple cider, and hot sauce. The boiling step, combined with air frying, makes them creamy on the inside, with a hint of apple cider, and crispy on the outside with a hint of hot sauce. The perfect chip. In the photo, I am serving them with ketchup, and my new mystery burger. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.

How To Make air fryer essentials: malt vinegar crispy fries

  • 1
    PREP/PREPARE
  • 2
    Yukon gold are the best for this recipe; second best would be red potatoes. Russets will not work, because they will fall apart when boiled.
  • 3
    Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
  • 4
    Place the water in a pot and bring up to the boil.
  • 5
    While the water is coming up to the boil, cut up your potatoes. I leave the skins on; however, if you prefer, you can peel before cutting… Up to you.
  • 6
    Add the salt, and apple cider vinegar to the boiling water, then add the potatoes.
  • 7
    As soon as the pot comes back to the boil, set a timer for 4 minutes.
  • 8
    After 4 minutes, remove from the water, drain on paper towels, and allow to cool down for 15 minutes.
  • 9
    While the taters are cooling, whisk together the oil coating ingredients in a small bowl.
  • 10
    Throw in the fries and toss to evenly coat.
  • 11
    Add them to the basket of your air fryer, set the temperature to 400f (205c), and cook until crispy, about 14 – 16 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fries.
  • 12
    Chef’s Note: About every 2 – 3 minutes, shake the basket. This will keep the fries from sticking together and allow them to evenly cook.
  • 13
    PLATE/PRESENT
  • So yummy
    14
