Our top tips for the perfect air fryer roast potatoes:
1. Infusing the oil beforehand adds plenty of flavour without burning the garlic and rosemary during cooking.
2. Take the time to toss the potatoes in the infused oil until they’re completely coated – any parts of the potato not coated in oil will bake rather than roast.
3. Adding polenta is optional, but this is what gives the potatoes an extra-crunchy exterior.
4. Always try to add your potatoes to the air fryer in a single layer with a little space around each, so the hot air can reach each bit.
5. Shaking and turning the potatoes during cooking ensures even crispness throughout.
