My Philips Airfryer's homemade fries are not as expected
Published on 16 October 2024
If your Philips Airfryer's homemade fries are not as expected, there might be a simple solution. Read the steps below to learn how to solve this issue yourself.
Things to consider when making home-made fries
- Choose a type of potato that is suitable for making fries
- We recommend filling the basket of your Airfryer up to only half of the total capacity for an even result
- Larger fries may be less crispy than smaller fries
- Shake the basket of your appliance 2–3 times during the air-frying process
Preparing homemade fries with your Airfryer
Your Philips Airfryer uses Rapid Air technology, which makes the frying process different from deep-fat frying. Follow the steps below to prepare homemade fries with your Airfryer:
- Peel the potatoes and cut them into sticks.
- Soak the potato sticks in a bowl for at least 30 minutes, then take them out and dry them with kitchen roll.
- Pour half a tablespoon of olive oil into a bowl, put the sticks in the bowl and mix until the sticks are coated with oil.
- 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 of your Airfryer.
- Fry 300-800 g of the potato sticks at 180°C for 18-25 minutes and shake the basket 2-3 times during the hot air frying process.

Dual-basket models only (NA350, NA351 and NA352)
When preparing fries or any other stacked food, we suggest using the larger basket (on the right-hand side). This basket has a larger surface area, allowing for the ingredients to be spread more evenly. This results in more balanced heat and airflow distribution throughout the ingredients, resulting in better cooking.
