Air Fryer Canned Potatoes

This Air Fryer Canned Potatoes recipe is a quick and easy, as well as budget friendly side dish. We always have canned potatoes in the cupboard and cooking them in the air fryer gives them the best texture – crispy on the outside and light and fluffy on the inside. Perfect for those nights when you don’t even have time to peel and chop potatoes.

Ingredients

• Canned potatoes – We bought the cheapest ones we could for this recipe, as we wanted to show just how budget friendly tin potatoes in air fryer are. But you could also use the more expensive canned baby potatoes.
• Olive oil – This is what helps the air fryer tin potatoes get nice and crispy. Use a good quality olive oil.
• Italian seasoning – Whilst you can keep this simple and just use potatoes and oil, some seasoning really does add some extra flavour and Italian seasoning is always our favourite. Carry on reading for more seasoning ideas.
• Parmesan – So, this is totally an optional extra and definitely makes air fryer canned potatoes less budget friendly, but it’s totally worth it. It makes them a little more special.

Notes

• Rinsing the potatoes is important, because it reduces some of the sodium content.
• If some of the potatoes in your can are large, then you can half or quarter them if needed. But try to make sure that they are an even size so they all cook at the same rate.
• The smaller you cut your potatoes, the quicker they will cook so you may need to adjust the cooking time.
• Once cooked, why not toss them in some melted garlic butter? SO good.
