- corn1/4 cup, boiled
- capsicum1/4 cup, chopped
- oil1 tbsp
Method
Cut the fries
Cut the potatoes into thin, even fries and soak them in cold water for 10 minutes to wash off the surface starch. Removing starch is what lets the fries crisp up instead of turning soft and sticking together.
Dry and season
Drain and pat the fries completely dry, then toss them in a bowl with the oil. Drying them well matters, since any water left on turns to steam and stops them from crisping.
Air fry the base
Air fry the fries at 190°C for 15 min, shaking the basket halfway, until they are golden and crisp. Shaking moves them around so every fry browns evenly instead of clumping.
Load and finish
Top the crisp fries with the cheese, boiled corn and chopped capsicum, then air fry at 180°C for 4 min, until the cheese is fully melted and bubbling over the fries.
