Before you start
Most air fryers come with a basket that allows the air to get underneath the food as it cooks – but this isn’t always the best approach. These potatoes are cooked in the base of the air fryer itself, which gives a flat surface for them to cook on.
Butter has a lower burning point than oil, which is why in this recipe you pour it out, then add it back in at the end. That way, you benefit from the buttery flavour without any burnt bits. By adding the butter only at the beginning and the end, you still introduce enough fat to roast (rather than bake) the potatoes.
Parboil the potatoes the day before and keep them in the fridge if you want to prepare in advance.
