Equipment
- 1 Air Fryer
- 1 Mixing bowl
Ingredients
- 4 large Potatoes, peeled and grated
- 1 small Onion finely chopped
- 2 tbsp All-purpose flour
- 1 tsp Salt
- ½ tsp Black pepper
- ¼ tsp Garlic powder
- Cooking spray or olive oil for greasing
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
- In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes, chopped onion, flour, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Take a handful of the potato mixture and squeeze out any excess moisture. This step is crucial to ensure your rosti cooks evenly and achieves a crispy texture.
- Lightly grease the air fryer basket or tray with cooking spray or olive oil.
- Take a portion of the potato mixture and shape it into a round patty, about 1/2 inch (1 cm) thick. Repeat with the remaining mixture, placing each patty in a single layer in the air fryer basket or tray. Make sure to leave some space between the patties to allow air circulation.
- Place the basket or tray in the preheated air fryer and cook for 10 minutes.
- After 10 minutes, carefully flip the potato rosti patties using a spatula to ensure even cooking. Cook for an additional 10-15 minutes or until the rosti is golden brown and crispy on both sides.
- Once cooked, remove the air fryer potato rosti from the basket or tray and transfer to a serving plate. Repeat the cooking process with any remaining potato mixture.
- Serve the air fryer potato rosti hot and enjoy the crispy exterior and tender interior.
Notes
Tips for perfecting your air fryer potato rosti
To ensure your air fryer potato rosti turns out perfectly every time, here are some helpful tips:- Use starchy potatoes: Starchy potatoes, such as Russet or Yukon Gold, work best for potato rosti as they provide a fluffy texture. Avoid using waxy potatoes like red potatoes, as they tend to hold their shape and can result in a denser rosti.
- Squeeze out excess moisture: Removing excess moisture from the grated potatoes is crucial to achieving a crispy texture. After grating the potatoes, place them in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze tightly to remove as much moisture as possible.
- Don’t overcrowd the air fryer: Ensure you leave enough space between the rosti patties in the air fryer to allow proper air circulation. Overcrowding the basket or tray can result in uneven cooking and a less crispy texture.
- Adjust cooking time and temperature: Cooking times may vary depending on the size and thickness of your rosti patties, as well as the specific air fryer model you are using. Keep an eye on your rosti and adjust the cooking time and temperature accordingly to achieve your desired level of crispiness.
