Air Fryer Roast Potatoes

Making roast potatoes in an air fryer is a great way to get really crispy outside and fluffy insides. I doubt your air fryer is large enough to have the roast meat and the potatoes in it at the same time, so this recipe just uses the air fryer for the last 20 minutes of the cook, crisping up the outside.

Ingredients

  • 500g floury potato, such as maris piper, peeled and cut into 2cm-ish chunks
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 4 tbsp sunflower oil

Method

  1. Put the potato chunks into a saucepan and cover with cold water.
  2. Add the baking powder to the saucepan, stir well and put over a high heat.
  3. Pre-heat your main oven to 200 degrees Celsius
  4. After 5 to 10 minutes, once the pan has started to foam up, reduce the heat to medium-low.
  5. Simmer for 5 more minutes before draining.
  6. Return the drained potoates to the hot (but dry) saucepan and drizzle over the sunflower oil.
  7. Jiggle the potatoes around the saucepan until well coated in the oil.
  8. Place on a baking tray and put into the oven for about 40 minutes.
  9. When you take your roast meat out of the air fryer to rest, put the potatoes into the air fryer on 205 degress Celsius for 20 minutes, until the outside is nice and crispy.
