How to Fry Chips in Airfryer
The moment they emerge, steaming and golden, is the moment of truth. While they are still blisteringly hot, toss them immediately in a bowl with your chosen seasoning. Salt is non-negotiable, but don’t stop there. Try smoked paprika, a dash of cayenne, or a sprinkle of dried oregano for a Mediterranean twist.
Want to get fancy? A classic British seaside touch is a sprinkle of malt vinegar right before serving. The sharp acidity cuts through the richness like a charm. Or go full American diner style and dip them in a homemade garlic aioli or a simple ketchup-heavy sriracha mix.
Here’s a fun fact from the world of food anthropology: the chip (or french fry) is believed to have been invented in Belgium in the late 1600s, where villagers would fry small fish in oil, and when the river froze, they cut potatoes into fish shapes and fried them instead. You are a direct heir to that delicious legacy.
