This is our favourite way to do roast potatoes, and it is all thanks to a recipe that Waitrose provided.
Ingredients based on a serving for 4
- 750g floury potatoes (we used Maris Piper)
- 1 tsp flaky salt, plus extra to serve
- 1 tsp cider vinegar
- 1½ tbsp plain flour 3 clove/s garlic, unpeeled 3 rosemary sprigs
- 5 tbsp goose fat or duck fat
Method we followed from the Waitrose website
- 1. Preheat the air fryer to 180ºC. Peel the potatoes and cut into large chunks (halve small ones and quarter larger potatoes)
- Put in a saucepan and rinse in a few changes of cold water to remove excess starch
- Cover with cold water and add the salt and vinegar. Put on a lid and bring to the boil over a high heat, bubbling for 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are very tender but still holding together
- Drain and allow to steam-dry for at least 5 minutes. Return to the dry pan and sprinkle over the flour
- Holding the lid on firmly, give the pan a few firm shakes to break up the edges of the spuds and distribute the flour
- Warm the goose fat in a small pan until just melted then pour over potatoes; give the pan a further shake to coat
- Put the potatoes in the air-fryer basket, spreading in a snug single layer on top of the rack. 8. Bash the garlic cloves and add to the basket with the rosemary.
- Insert the basket into the air fryer and cook for 35-40 minutes, flipping them halfway, until crispy and a rich golden.
Thanks Susie for sharing your techniques and recipes for using the Ninja Airfryer. I bought mine a couple of months ago but only got the confidence to use it for the first time today, after watching several of your YouTube cooking demonstrations, am a “late starter” at 78 years! Wishing you and your family all the best, you sound such lovely people.
