When you fry greasy ingredients in the airfryer, a large amount of oil will leak into the pan.The oil produces white smoke and the pan may heat up more than usual.This does not affect the appliance or the end result.
White smoke is caused by grease heating up in the pan. Make sure you clean the pan properly after each use.
Soak the potato sticks in a bowl for at least 30 minutes, take them out and dry them with kitchen paper.
Use fresh potatoes and make sure they stay firm during frying.
Make sure you dry the potato sticks properly before you add the oil.
Cut the potato sticks smaller for a crispier result.
Add slightly more oil for a crispier result.
