Instructions
For 10 crispy sticks
Step 1
Pierce the potatoes all over with a fork and cook them in the microwave until soft for 8-10 minutes. Cooking them unpeeled in the microwave keeps the starch in and make a drier mash. Once cooked, let them cool down a bit and peel them with a knife.

Step 9
Spray them or brush them with extra virgin olive oil, and bake on fan oven at 200C (400F) for about 20-25 min until golden. You can alternatively bake them on the air fryer at 180C (350F) for about 10-15 minutes until golden. Don’t overcrowd the air fryer, you’ll probably have to cook them in batches.
