Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 200 g steamed potatoes Waxy potatoes like new potatoes are preferred for best texture, but Russets will also work.
- 1 tbsp Top Cuistot cajun spice blend A flavorful spice blend to add depth.
- 30 g grated parmesan Provides a golden crunch on the exterior.
- 1-2 tsp cornstarch Helps achieve a crispy texture.
Instructions
Cooking Instructions
- Mash the steamed potatoes with a fork until they are roughly mashed, not a smooth purée.
- Toss in the cajun spice blend, followed by grated parmesan and cornstarch. Mix until combined.
- Roll the mixture into little walnut-sized nuggets.
- Place the nuggets in the Airfryer basket, ensuring they aren’t overcrowded. Set the Airfryer to 190°C and cook for 10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
- Once golden and crispy, remove the nuggets from the Airfryer and let them cool slightly.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a dash of garlic powder or smoked paprika to the mix.
- Keep the cornstarch to a minimum to avoid overly dry nuggets while achieving a crispy texture.
- Feel free to swap the cajun spice blend with other seasonings like rosemary and garlic, or chili flakes for a spicy kick.
