The French fries mode in the Xiaomi Air Fryer 6.5L is preset for frozen fries. Fresh potatoes contain more starch and vary in thickness depending on how they are cut, which affects cooking time.
For better results when using fresh potatoes, soak them in water to remove excess starch, then drain them before cooking.
It is recommended to use semi-prepared frozen fries available in supermarkets for more consistent cooking results.
Note:
During the cooking process, follow the flip prompts shown on the air fryer to avoid uneven heating, which can lead to parts being overcooked while others remain undercooked.
