Notes & Wine Advice
Serving Suggestions
Serve these crisp potato bases with your favourite savoury toppings. They work particularly well as an Amuse, Appetizer or Side Dish. Try toppings such as cheese, smoked salmon, sour cream, roasted vegetables or fresh herbs.Recipe Notes
Choose baby potatoes of a similar size so they cook evenly. The potatoes should be completely tender before crushing them. Press gently with a fork so they flatten without falling apart. The second cooking stage in the Airfryer is what creates the crisp edges, so leave a little space between the potatoes where possible.Variations
Season the potato bases with herbs, garlic or spices before the final cooking stage. The neutral potato flavour makes this Basic recipe suitable for many different toppings.Storage Advice
Allow the cooked potato bases to cool completely before storing them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. Reheat briefly in the air fryer until hot and crisp before adding the toppings.Wine Advice
The ideal wine depends on the topping. A fresh Sauvignon Blanc works well with vegetable, herb or fresh cheese toppings. A Chardonnay is suitable for richer cheese or creamy toppings.Nutrition values
