📝 Air Fryer Method

1. Peel potatoes and cut into even-sized chunks — roughly 5cm.
2. Par-boil in salted water for 7–8 minutes — tender outside, not falling apart.
3. Drain well. Leave to steam dry for 2 minutes.
4. Shake the pan gently to rough up the edges — extra crispy air fryer crunch.
5. Tip into your air fryer tray. Drizzle generously with oil/fat. Toss until fully coated.
6. Spread in a single layer — do not pile them up, they will steam instead of crisp.
7. Preheat air fryer to 190°C.
8. Place on Top Rack. Cook 35–40 minutes.
9. Shake or turn halfway through. Add garlic and herbs for last 10 minutes if using.
10. Sprinkle with salt and serve immediately.

💡 Pro Tip: Dry potatoes = crispy air fryer potatoes. Pat dry with kitchen paper if wet. Don't overcrowd — cook in two batches if needed.
