700 g floury potatoes e.g. Maris Piper or Rooster – fluffier interior, crispier exterior

1 tbsp cornflour (cornstarch)

2 tbsp frying oil neutral tasting – such as rapeseed, sunflower or vegetable

1 tsp salt

0.5 tsp black pepper

0.5 tsp paprika

1 pinch salt and pepper to serve

Peel and slice the potatoes into chips (about 1cm thick).

If they’re a bit grubby, rinse in cold water, drain and pat dry. If they’re not grubby you don’t need to do this step.

Add the chips to a bowl and toss with the cornflour until coated.

Add oil, salt, pepper and paprika and toss again so they’re evenly coated.

Place in the air fryer and cook at 190C/375F for 20 mins, shaking every 5 minutes.

Serve with a sprinkling of salt and pepper if you like.
