Giant Yorkshire puddings have become a mainstay for many Britons who love loading up all the trimmings into a gravy-filled, golden Yorkshire. But few people have tried the same thing with roast potatoes - arguably the most sought-after component of a Sunday Lunch. Potato experts at Branston have shared a festive air fryer recipe to practice ahead of Christmas.
It features all the best elements of crispy roasties without the painstaking cooking process. The Branston team said: “These giant roasties combine the crispy, fluffy tastiness of a roast potato with the ‘loadability’ of a jacket. “They make a fantastic base for piling on some of your festive leftovers and their air fryer crunchy coat keeps the insides deliciously moist and mashable.
” Two things about this recipe make it speedier than most; the air fryer and the potato variety. Branston has developed the Nemo potato - a roasting variety named after its distinctive stripes that they claim “cuts cooking time by 25 percent”. Available to shoppers throughout winter at Tesco, the Nemo potato is well-placed for giant air fryer roasties and traditional ones too.
For perfectly crisp, giant spuds, all you need is five ingredients. Ingredients Two large Nemo potatoes, peeled and left whole Two tbsp olive oil Four sprigs fresh thyme Two garlic cloves, peeled Salt and black pepper Method A short par-boil is all you need to soften Nemo spuds, and you don’t need to boil the kettle beforehand.
