Air Fryer Roast Potatoes

Ingredients

• 1 kg (2 lb 3 oz) Potatoes, peeled, cut into 4–5cm (1.6–2 in) chunks
• 1 tsp, plus a pinch for the water Salt
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 sprig Fresh rosemary, leaves chopped, optional

You’ll need: Air fryer

Method

1. 1

   Put the potatoes in a large saucepan, cover with cold water, add a pinch of salt and bring to the boil. Simmer for 8 minutes, until the edges are just soft but they still hold their shape.

2. 2

   Drain well and leave in the colander for 3 minutes to steam dry. Shake the colander firmly a few times to rough up the edges. Those rough edges become the crunch.

3. 3

   Toss the potatoes with the oil, 1 tsp salt and the rosemary, if using.

4. 4

   Heat the air fryer to 200°C (400°F). Cook in 2 batches if the basket would be more than half full. Cook for 25–30 minutes, shaking every 8–10 minutes, until deep golden and crisp. Check toward the early end.

5. 5

   Serve straight away with your roast.
