Ingredients

  • 2 lb potatoes
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 tbsp paprika
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 8 oz canned chopped tomatoes
  • ¼ cup basil leaves (optional)
  • ½ tsp salt

Steps

  1. Soak potatoes in just-boiled water for 30 minutes, then drain and air-dry for 5 minutes. Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Toss potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper. Place in the air fryer basket and cook for 20-30 minutes until crisp and golden.
  3. Meanwhile, heat remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a small pan over medium-low heat. Sauté onion for 8-10 minutes until softened.
  4. Stir in garlic and cook for 1 minute, then add paprika and cook for 30 seconds more.
  5. Stir in tomato paste and cook for 1 minute, then add chopped tomatoes. Simmer for 5-10 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
