• Preheat the Air Fryer: Give your air fryer a five-minute warmup period at 375°F (190°C).
• To get ready for air fryering, lightly mist the basket with olive oil to keep it from sticking.
• Make sure the potato puffs in the basket are not in contact with one another by arranging them in a single layer. The size of your air fryer will determine whether you need to cook them in batches.
• To get a golden finish, lightly mist the tops of the potato puffs with olive oil.
• Air Fry the Puffs: Air fry the potato puffs for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the outsides are crispy and golden brown, at 375°F (190°C). To ensure even browning, flip them halfway through the cooking time.
• Serve and Garnish: Take the potato puffs out of the air fryer and allow them to cool a little.
• If preferred, garnish with extra finely chopped chives and grated Parmesan.
• Enjoy and warm up!
