Ingredients
- 1 can (400g) of whole tinned potatoes: Drained and dried for the best results.
- 1–2 tbsp olive oil: Helps achieve a crispy exterior.
- 1 tsp garlic powder: Adds a savory, garlicky flavor.
- ½ tsp paprika: For color and a subtle smokiness.
- Salt and pepper to taste: Essential seasonings to enhance flavor.
- Fresh herbs (such as parsley or chives): Optional, for garnish.
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the potatoes
Drain the canned potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels. Drying them thoroughly helps them crisp up better in the air fryer.
Step 2: Season the potatoes
In a mixing bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Ensure the potatoes are evenly coated with the seasoning.
Step 3: Preheat the air fryer
Preheat the air fryer to 200°C (390°F) for about 2-3 minutes.
Step 4: Air fry the potatoes
Place the seasoned potatoes in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook at 200°C (390°F) for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking. The potatoes should be golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Step 5: Serve
Transfer the air-fried potatoes to a serving dish, garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and serve hot.
