Method

  1. Peel and quarter the potatoes before par-boiling them in a saucepan of already boiling, salted water for 15 minutes.
  2. Drain the potatoes well and leave them to steam dry for a minute or two before tossing with the olive oil and a generous seasoning of salt.
  3. Air-fry for 30 minutes at 200C, tossing every 10 minutes to ensure they crisp up and brown evenly.

Notes

This recipe was tested in a 3.2 litre basket air fryer. It will also work in a model fitted with a stirring paddle – in this case, you will not need to toss the potatoes during cooking. It is also easily scaled up to feed more people in a larger air fryer.

Large potatoes are best for this recipe, if you are using smaller potatoes make sure they are cut into large chunks or reduce the par-boil time.
