Nutritious & Delicious

For the best results with your ,
we advise following our recommendations on
the type of potatoes and oil to use.
The potato: balance and pleasure on a daily basis!
Potatoes are an excellent source of energy and contain vitamins. Potatoes vary enormously in size, shape and taste
according to the variety, climate and growing conditions. Each variety has its particular cropping time, yield, size,
colour, keeping quality and culinary uses. A potato’s characteristics when cooked may vary according to its origin
and seasonality.
Which variety should I use ?
As a general rule, we suggest that you use special potatoes that have been recommended for chipping. In many
supermarkets the information on the packaging tells you which varieties are suitable for making chips. We
recommend varieties such as King Edward and Maris Piper for good results.
When potatoes have been freshly harvested, they have a higher water content, we recommend cooking the chips
for a few more minutes.
Where should I store potatoes?
The best place to store potatoes is in a dark cellar or cool cupboard (between 6 and 8°C), away from the light.
How should I prepare potatoes for ?
To obtain the best results, you must ensure that the chips do not stick together. With this in mind, wash the whole
potatoes and then cut them into chips using a sharp knife or chip cutter. The chips should be of equal size so that
they cook at the same time. Wash the chipped potatoes in plenty of cold water until it runs clear in order to remove
as much of the starch as possible. Dry the chips thoroughly using a clean highly absorbent tea towel. The chips
must be perfectly dry before putting them in the otherwise they will not turn crispy. To check that
they are dry enough pat them with paper kitchen towel just before cooking. If there is any wetness on the paper
dry them again. Remember the cooking time of the chips will vary according to the weight of chips and the batch
of potatoes used.
How should I cut the potatoes?
The size of a chip influences how crunchy or soft it is. The thinner your chips, the more crunchy they will be and
conversely, thicker chips will be softer inside. You can cut your chips to the following thickness and length according
to your tastes:
In Actifry the maximum recommended chip thickness is 13mm x 13mm and a length of up to 9cm.
Thickness: American style: 8 x 8mm / Thin: 10 x 10mm / Standard: 13 x 13mm
Length: Up to approx 9cm.
Try a variety of different oils for good health
You can vary the type of oil depending on your choice with 1 spoonful of oil for 1 kg of potatoes.
Choose a different oil every time you cook!
With , you can use a very wide variety of oils:
• Standard oils : olive oil, grape seed oil, corn oil, groundnut (peanut) oil, sunflower oil, soya oil*
• Flavoured oils : oils infused with aromatic herbs, garlic, chilli, lemon…
• Speciality oils : hazelnut*, sesame*…
(*cook according to the manufacturers instructions)
With its low quantity of oil for each use, the technology of helps in providing a healthier, nutritionally
balanced diet.
With , you can make chips with a better nutritional quality. For
extra flavour, you can add 1 or 2 additional spoonfuls of oil for even more taste
but this will increase the fat content.
