Ingredients

  • Potatoes (900g)
  • Olive Oil (3 tablespoons)
  • Onion (1, chopped)
  • Garlic (1 clove, peeled and crushed)
  • Paprika (1 tablespoon)
  • Tomato Puree (1 tablespoon)
  • Tinned Tomatoes (225g)
  • Basil Leaves (to serve)
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Black Pepper (to taste)

Instructions

Steps

  1. Soak potatoes in boiling water for 30 minutes, then drain and let them air-dry for 5 minutes. Preheat the air fryer to 200°C. In a bowl, toss the potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Mix well to coat, then place the potatoes in the air fryer basket. Cook for 20-30 minutes until they are crisp and golden brown.
  2. While the potatoes are cooking, heat the remaining olive oil in a small pan over medium-low heat. Add 1 chopped onion and sauté for 8-10 minutes until softened but not browned. Stir in 1 crushed garlic clove and cook for 1 minute, followed by 1 tablespoon of paprika for 30 seconds. Then add 1 tablespoon of tomato purée and cook for an additional minute. Finally, stir in 225g of tinned tomatoes and let simmer for 5-10 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  3. Once the potatoes are done, transfer them to a serving platter and pour the tomato sauce over the top. Garnish with basil leaves before serving.
