Air Fryer Batata Harra

Ingredients

• 4 potatoes, cut into 2 cm cubes
• 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
• 2 tbsp chopped coriander (optional)
• 1 tsp chilli flakes or red chilli powder (optional)
• Juice of ½ lemon (optional)
• Salt, 2 tbsp oil

Steps

1. Toss the potato cubes with 1 tbsp of the oil and salt until evenly coated.
2. Preheat the air fryer to 200°C, then air fry the potatoes for 10 minutes.
3. Shake the basket and air fry a further 8-10 minutes until deep golden and crisp on the outside, tender inside.
4. While the potatoes cook, stir the garlic and chilli into the remaining 1 tbsp oil.
5. As soon as the potatoes come out, toss them straight through the garlic-chilli oil while hot - the heat mellows the raw garlic just enough without cooking it through.
6. Finish with lemon juice and coriander, and serve immediately.

Tip: Add the raw garlic after cooking, not before - garlic burns and turns bitter long before the potatoes are done at air fryer temperatures.
