Fried snacks are not
crispy
• You used a type of snack
meant to be prepared in a
traditional deep fryer.
• Use oven snacks or lightly brush some
oil onto the snacks for a crispier result.
Fresh fries are fried
unevenly
• You did not use the right
potato type.
• Use fresh potatoes and make sure they
stay firm during frying.
• You did not rinse the
potato sticks properly
before you fried them.
• Rinse the potato sticks again to remove
starch from the outside of the sticks
Fresh fries are not
crispy
• The crispiness of the fries
depends on the amount of
oil and water in the fries.
• Make sure you dry the potato sticks
properly before you add oil. Cut the
potato sticks smaller. Add slightly more
oil.
