Ingredients

  • 900g floury potatoes, such as Maris Piper, peeled and cut into 4cm chunks
  • 1 tsp salt, for the water
  • 3 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 4 garlic cloves, left whole and lightly crushed
  • 1 tsp garlic granules
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper

Method

  1. Boil the potatoes in a pan of salted water for 8 minutes, until the edges are just soft but they still hold their shape.

  2. Drain well, leave to steam dry in the colander for 3 minutes, then shake the colander firmly to roughen the edges.

  3. Toss the potatoes in the oil, garlic granules, rosemary, salt and pepper.

  4. Preheat the air fryer to 200°C.

  5. Cook half the potatoes for 15 minutes, shaking the basket and adding half the whole garlic cloves after 8 minutes.

  6. Cook the remaining potatoes in the same way, then return the first batch for the last 3 minutes to reheat.

  7. Serve at once while crisp.
