Main Ingredients- 4 medium potatoes
- A pinch of herb salt (adjust to taste)
- A little cooking oil (such as soybean or canola oil)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Thoroughly wash the potatoes and peel off their skins. Using a plastic peeler can make this process safe and convenient.
Step 2
Carefully use the tip of a paring knife to remove any remaining eyes or uneven parts of the potato. Ensuring the potatoes are clean and well-prepped is key.
Step 3
Cut the prepared potatoes into uniform wedge shapes, about 1cm thick. Maintaining an even thickness is crucial for consistent cooking.
Step 4
Arrange the cut potato wedges in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Sprinkle evenly with herb salt and drizzle with a little cooking oil. Set the air fryer to 180°C (356°F) and cook for 8 minutes for the first stage.
Step 5
After 8 minutes, carefully open the air fryer basket and flip the potato wedges. This step ensures even browning and cooking. Continue cooking at 180°C (356°F) for another 7 minutes.
Step 6
Check the fries after the second 7-minute cooking period. They should be beautifully golden brown and enticingly crisp. Make sure the inside is tender and cooked through.
Step 7
Generously sprinkle your desired amount of mozzarella cheese over the hot, crispy fries. If using frozen mozzarella, microwave for 30-40 seconds until melted and bubbly. Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
