Potato puffs in an air fryer are a delicious way to enjoy a tasty snack or a tasty potato side dish.

They are effortless to prepare, and it is a great recipe if you have leftover mashed potatoes.

What You Need For This Homemade Potato Puffs

Potatoes: The best potatoes for this recipe are potatoes with lots of starch, such as russets, which are characterized by a very low water content and a high starch content, making them particularly floury.

Red potatoes are also great for this recipe.

Cornstarch: Cornstarch helps make these potato puffs even crispier outside.

Seasoning of choice: I used salt, black pepper, and parsley to make these potato puffs flavorful, but the combinations are endless.

Imagine potato puffs with rosemary or curry-flavored; I don’t know which to try first!

Olive oil or avocado oil: We will use oil to help us shape our balls.

Optional dip:  Classic ketchup or ranch dressing works well.

How To Make Potato Puffs At Home

To prepare the potato mixture for your air fryer potato puffs, boil a large pot of peeled and diced potatoes in cold water and salt until tender.

Drain the potatoes and mash them with a fork or potato masher until smooth. 

Add cornstarch, chopped fresh parsley, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt and black pepper to the mashed potatoes.

Mix everything until it is well combined.

Wet your hands with some oil and start making potato balls.

Preheat your air fryer, and place the potato puffs in a single layer in the air fryer basket.

You don’t need to add extra oil.

Cook in the preheated air fryer for 13 minutes. Give a good shake halfway through until they are crispy

and golden brown on the outside.

Serve hot and enjoy!
