recipe, vegan, making fresh fries with an airfryer
How to make fresh fries with an airfryer that are actually nice (even though they are not crispy):
1. Do not peel the potatoes; wash them thoroughly instead.
2. Cut into thick fries; think 1cm thickness.
3. Soak in water for about 30 minutes. This removes starch from the surface which would otherwise burn.
4. Drain the water away.
5. Air-fry 10 minutes at 120C, *without oil*.
6. Put fries into a bowl, add a tablespoon or two of oil, mix them around until everything is oily.
7. Air-fry *at least* 22 minutes at 180C. If after that they still seem a bit undercooked, add 5-10 more minutes.
They're done when they're starting to look brown (but not burnt yet). Most likely the skin will start curling and browning first. This is fine!

As an extra note: regular shaking is recommended, as is always the case with an airfrier.
Even with regular shaking, some potatoes are going to brown before others; this is not a problem, even the ones that haven't browned will have cooked enough to be edible and tasty!
Don't wait until *all* potatoes have browned, because by that point, some of them will have started burning.
