Simple Air Fryer Potato Cake

🧂 Ingredients

• 4 medium-sized potatoes
• 2 tablespoons oil

  vegetable or olive oil
• Salt to taste
• Pepper to taste

Instructions

• 1 Start by peeling the potatoes and then grating them using the coarse side of a
  grater. Alternatively, you can use a food processor with a grating attachment
  for quick and consistent results.
• 2 After grating, place the shredded potatoes in a clean kitchen towel or
  cheesecloth and squeeze out any excess moisture.
• 3 In a mixing bowl, add the grated potatoes.
• 4 Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• 5 Mix well to ensure that the seasoning is evenly distributed throughout the
  potatoes.
• 6 Divide the seasoned grated potatoes into four equal portions.
• 7 Take one portion and shape it into a patty or cake. You can make them as thick
  or thin as you prefer, but make sure they are compact and hold their shape.
• 8 Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes. Preheating ensures
  even cooking and helps in achieving a crispy exterior.
• 9 Brush both sides of each potato cake with a thin layer of oil. This will help
  them crisp up nicely in the air fryer.
• 10 Place the potato cakes in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they
  are not overcrowded. You may need to cook them in batches if your air fryer is
  small.
• 11 Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 10 minutes.
• 12 After 10 minutes, carefully flip the potato cakes using a spatula.
• 13 Air fry for an additional 10 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy
  on the outside.
• 14 Once the potato cakes are done, remove them from the air fryer and place them on
  a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
• 15 Serve them hot as a side dish or snack. They are delicious on their own or with
  your favorite dipping sauce.
