ACTIFRY GENIUS TIPS FOR COOKING CHIPS(for UK only)
Which variety of potato should I use?
As a general use, we suggest that you use potatoes that have been recommended for chipping.
In many supermarkets the information on the packaging tells you which varieties are suitable
for making chips. We recommend varieties such as King Edward and Maris Piper for good results.
When potatoes have been freshly harvested, they have a higher water content, we recommend
cooking the chips for a few more minutes.
Where should I store potatoes?
The best place to store potatoes is in a dark cellar or cool cupboard (between 6 and 8°C), away
from the light.
How should I prepare potatoes for ActiFry?
To obtain the best results, you must ensure that the chips do not stick together. With this
in mind, wash the whole potatoes and then cut them into chips using a sharp knife or chip
cutter. The chips should be of equal size so that they cook at the same time. Wash the chipped
potatoes in plenty of cold water until it runs clear in order to remove as much of the starch as
possible. Dry the chips thoroughly using a clean highly absorbent tea towel. The chips must be
perfectly dry before putting them in the ActiFry otherwise they will not turn crispy. To check
that they are dry enough pay them with paper kitchen towel just before cooking. If there is
any wetness on the paper dry them again. Remember the cooking time of the chips will vary
according to the weight of chips and the batch of potatoes used.
How should I cut the potatoes?
The size of a chip influences how crunchy or soft it is. The thinner your chips, the more crunchy
they will be and conversely, thicker chips will be softer inside. You can cut your chips to the
following thickness and length according to your tastes:
Thickness: American style: 8 x 8mm/ Thin: 10x 10mm/ Standard: 13x 13 mm
Length: Up to approx 9 cm.
In ActiFry the maximum recommended chip thickness is 13mm x 13mm and
a length of up to 9cm.
What type of oil can I use?
You can use a wide variety of oils in ActiFry:
• Standard oils : olive oil, grape seed oil, corn oil, groundnut (peanut) oil, sunflower oil, soya oil*
• Flavoured oils : oils infused with aromatic herbs, garlic, chilli, lemon…
• Speciality oils : hazelnut*, sesame*…
(*cook according to the manufacturers instructions)
