Air Fryer Potato Roast Recipe

 Healthy potato roast made using air fryer. Potatoes cooked and marinated in masalas, air fried to crisp texture. With step by step pictures.

Here is how to do it.
Take half a liter of water and add in the baking soda and salt. Add in the peeled and cut potatoes in the cooker. I cut them pretty big. About half inch cubes. Boil the potatoes in a pressure cooker for 2 whistles, release the pressure immediately after the two whistles are over. Drain and set aside on a plate to cool. Adding a little baking soda when boiling potatoes helps in creating that wonderful crust that is so desirable in roasted potatoes. A crisp crust and a creamy potato.

Take a bowl and add in all the spice powders, salt, curry leaves, oil and smashed whole garlic. Go easy on the salt as the potatoes are already salted. Toss the masalas well.

Add in the potatoes and toss gently so the masalas evenly coat the potatoes.

Line the air fryer tray with masala coated potatoes. Do not crowd the pan. Set the temperature of the air fryer to 180C and fry for 20 minutes.
Fry in batches. I fried the potatoes in two batches.

Once fried, toss in some fresh curry leaves and serve hot.
