Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 kg Maris Piper potatoes
  • 1 tbsp sunflower or olive oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the potatoes: Cut the potatoes into evenly sized pieces, ensuring they are not too large for even cooking. This helps achieve a uniform texture and crispiness.
  2. Steam the potatoes: Steam the cut potatoes for 5 minutes using a steamer insert set over a pan of boiling water, or alternatively, simmer them gently in boiling water for 5 minutes. Drain the potatoes thoroughly to remove excess moisture.
  3. Coat with oil: Place the drained potatoes into the bottom of an air fryer basket. Add 1 tablespoon of sunflower or olive oil and toss well to ensure all potato pieces are evenly coated, which helps in crisping them up during cooking.
  4. Air fry the potatoes: Set the air fryer to cook for 30 minutes, using the paddle if your air fryer includes one to ensure even cooking and tossing. After 30 minutes, check the potatoes for tenderness and browning.
  5. Finish cooking: If the potatoes are not yet tender or brown enough, continue cooking for an additional 5-10 minutes until they reach your desired texture and color. Season well with salt or preferred seasoning before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure potatoes are cut to uniform size for even cooking.
  • Draining the potatoes well after steaming prevents sogginess.
  • Use the paddle function on the air fryer for more even cooking if available.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste after cooking.
  • Maris Piper potatoes are ideal for roasting due to their fluffy texture.
