Air fried Potatoes

Hey everyone! How is life? My part of the world is cloudy, yet beautiful for a walk. Today's recipe is especially dear to me. Why? My pickiest family member ate it with gusto. My kiddo eats healthy home cooked food, but very specific and only a few items. I get a sense of accomplishment when I can add an item to my child's limited menu. Here it is: Air fried Marathi style Batatachya Kachrya. 

Ingredients:

Russet Potato - 4 medium

Paprika - 1 tsp

Cayenne Pepper - 1/4 tsp

Turmeric/Haldi - 1/4 tsp

Aamchur/Dry Mango powder - 1/4 tsp

Salt - about 1/2 tsp

Cooking Spray or Oil

How to cook crispy Potatoes in an Air Fryer:

• Soak the potatoes in a big bowl of water for about an hour. I cook the potatoes with skin. Soaking makes scrubbing the potatoes easier. Skip the soaking if you like to peel the skin off potatoes.
• Wipe the cleaned potatoes with a kitchen towel. Dice the dried potatoes the way you like. 
• Grease the airfryer tray with cooking spray or oil. Add diced potatoes, 1 tbsp oil, salt, turmeric, paprika, cayenne, aamchur to the greased tray. Mix it well with your hands or a spatula. I prefer mixing with hands.
• I used paprika for color and cayenne for a little heat. For color, Kashmiri Lal Mirch powder works great too. Feel free to use black pepper powder as an alternative to cayenne. Aamchur adds a slight tang to the potatoes. You can use chat masala too if you like.
• Air fry the potatoes at 375 degrees F for about 8 minutes. Toss the potatoes and cook for another 4 - 5 minutes, depending on how crispy you want the potatoes to be.
