    How to remove starch from potatoes?

    Soak the potatoes before cooking them. The starch in potatoes allows you to create delicious and thick vegetable creams as well as helping to thicken broths. Actually, the problem is that starch is a type of glucose that we rarely associate as such because it doesn’t taste sweet. If you have diabetes, prediabetes, or tend to retain fluids, that’s when you should try to be careful with starchy foods. Soak potatoes before cooking, and rinsing the soaking water removes up to 60% of the starch. Soak for at least 30 minutes, although it is best to soak the potatoes overnight.

    How to make french fries in air fryer?

    If you have an air fryer it will be much easier:

    • When you already have the potatoes with the egg, salt and pepper, place them in the air fryer tray at 180ºC or 360ºF for 15 minutes, every 5 minutes open the tray and move them a little so that they are toasted on all sides.

      The air fryer french fries from scratch recipe has become our way to cook fries for the hamburger days at home. If you have diabetes or high cholesterol remember to leave the potatoes soaking in water for a whole night to get rid of a great part of starch.
