A TikTok creator and Michelin-trained chef has shared her “deliciously easy” method to cook crispy potato cubes without the need for an oven. Poppy O’Toole, who shares her recipes and cooking tips @poppycooks showed how you can make this fantastic side dish in just 30 minutes without touching your oven.
She instead opts to use the air fryer, which can be a faster way of cooking and is often regarded as being healthier than frying in oil.
Molly says her recipe promises “crispy” cubed potatoes and is complete in just a few simple steps.
In her video, she said: “I’m going to show you how to make delicious crispy cubed potatoes in the air fryer. So get some potatoes, get them cubed up about 10 cubes per potato. Then you’re going to oil and salt them in a bowl.”
Toss the cubes around with the oil and salt to ensure they are fully covered before popping them in the air fryer.
Molly recommends putting them in at 180C for 20 minutes and then increasing the temperature to 190C for a further 10 minutes.
“Give them a toss with a little bit of parsley and a bit of salt,” she continued. “You can add a little parmesan in there, you can add truffle oil if you want. They are just an easy delicious potato in your air fryer.”
