Steps

1.5 hours

1

Use Taiwanese potatoes for the best taste.
2

Wash and peel the potatoes, then cut them into strips, trying to keep each fry the same size (about 8mm x 8mm as an example).
3

After cutting, the potatoes will release starch, making the water cloudy. Change the water and soak for about 10 minutes. (The picture shows the water after changing.)
4

Place the fries in a pot of fresh cold water and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes (time depends on thickness; they don't need to be fully cooked. After cooling, a thin skin will form, which makes them taste better when air-fried). After removing, you'll notice a slight transparency on the outside of the fries.
5

Place in front of a fan to dry. When touched, they should feel like they have a thin skin and be slightly sticky.
6

Once the surface is dry, put some oil, pepper, and salt in a plastic bag, and shake to coat.
7

Place in the air fryer at 392°F (200°C) for a total of 15 minutes, shaking halfway through (after 5 minutes).
8

First shake.
9

Second shake (they start to color).
10

Third time removing from the fryer.
11

If not crispy enough, shake again and add another 5 minutes.
