Equipment

  • 1 Air fryer
  • 1 Knife
  • 1 Chopping Board
  • 1 large pot

Ingredients

  • 1 kg potatoes (I use maris pipers)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 rosemary stalks
  • 1 tsp garlic granules
  • salt
Metric - US Customary

Instructions

  • Firstly, peel and chop the potatoes into similar size pieces (this helps them to cook evenly)
  • Add the chopped potatoes into a deep pot of cold salted water along with the rosemary and boil on high for 15-17 minutes.
  • To check the potatoes are cooked, press a knife into the middle of a potato, you want some resistance (not just slide right through). Now drain them in a colander.
  • Add them back to the pot you boiled them in and add in the olive oil, garlic granules, pinch salt and remove the rosemary stalks (pulling off the rosemary leaves as much as possible). Give them a shake in the pot to give the potato rough edges.
  • Now add the potatoes to your air fryer basket and air fryer at 185C for 30 minutes (giver them a little shake half way through cooking).

Notes

Step-by-Step Photos: My blog post includes helpful step-by-step photos to help guide you through making this recipe.
Substitutions & Variations: I have included a list of these in the post above.
To Store: Best eaten right out the air fryer.  But, if you do have some leftover, then store in an air tight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat just pop back in the air fryer for 5 minutes until crispy again.
To Freeze: If you wanted to make a batch of these and freeze them down then just allow them to cool. Pop into a freezer proof bag and freeze for up to 6 months. Allow to defrost them pop them back in the air fryer for 5-7 minutes until warm through and crispy.
Tip 1: Chopping the potatoes to a similar size helps them to cook evenly.
Tip 2: Parboiling the potatoes with the rosemary stalks boosts the flavour.
Tip 3: Sprinkle over chopped rosemary and flakey salt before serving.
