Pass the potato salad! I love a flavourful, creamy potato salad recipe.

Pull out your trusty large bowl. This classic potato salad is a game-changer. Who doesn’t love a good old-fashioned creamy potato salad recipe arriving on the table at a barbecue? We think the creaminess is key to the success of this recipe. Although you can use mayonnaise, yoghurt or sour cream as your potato salad dressing (or any combo) we can’t look past good ol’ mayonaisse. We’ve added a bit of vinegar too, to give it a bit of acidity. Best-ever potato salad recipe ingredients Hard boiled eggs: I think a hard boiled eggs on a classic potato salad recipe is the ultimate Aussie side dish: it’s easy, creamy and always a crowd-pleaser. Boiled eggs bring protein and moreish flavour to this potato salad. Best-ever potato salad dressing: creamy potato salad dressing really elevates this side. And apple cider vinegar and mayonnaise form a formidable duo that bring creaminess and tanginess to this delicious potato salad. If you don’t have apple cider vinegar on hand, opt for a vinegar like white wine vinegar (which has a similar flavour profile to apple cider vinegar). Fried bacon and crispy onions: another dynamic pairing for a great potato salad, fried bacon and crispy onions provide varied texture and an umami hit that complete this well-rounded potato salad recipe. Gherkins: (dill pickles) crispy, juicy and green, this sweet and sour ingredient packs a powerful punch and is a pleasant surprise in this much-loved potato salad recipe. And, spring onions also bring a little extra greenery and fresh crunch to the plate. We use dill pickles, but any cucumber pickles you like will do the trick. If you don’t like gherkins, you could consider using fresh herbs for greenery and bite atop the finished salad, or adding a little Dijon mustard or whole grain mustard for extra kick. Waxy potatoes: choosing the right potatoes for your potato salad recipe is an important factor because potatoes vary widely. We use nicola potatoes, which are ideal for potato salad (as are any good waxy potatoes). You can read more about that in our recipe notes below the recipe.

Trust us, once you try these air fryer roast potatoes, you will never want to make them in the oven again. Crunchy and golden, they will be on the table in around half an hour from when you start peeling! What makes air fryer roast potatoes so fabulous? Using an air fryer to roast potatoes is the perfect way to achieve maximum crunch with minimum fuss. I love that while the air fryer cooks potatoes in a similar way to an oven, it is quicker (there’s also no preheating needed) and it uses much less energy, saving you precious dollars. Like in a traditional oven, the hot air circulating in the air fryer crisps up the edges of the spuds, while the insides stay fluffy and tender – just like a perfect baked potato should be. And while you need a good drizzle of oil to roast potatoes in the oven, when it comes to cooking them in the air fryer, simple spray oil does the trick, making them gloriously golden and able to be served with a little less guilt. Yet another reason to use an air fryer for your roast potatoes is that it can free up your oven space to cook a main or other parts of a meal. So, there is no more cramming in trays or trying to keep parts of a meal warm while you cook the rest. You’ve gotta love that! 💡 Tip: Don’t forget to shake Remove the basket from the air fryer about halfway through roasting your potatoes and give it a good shake. This will move the potato pieces around to ensure that all edges of the potato get a chance to crisp up in the circulating hot air and turn golden. Key ingredients in air fryer roast potatoes Potatoes: we used sebago (brushed) potatoes for roasting in the air fryer, as they are starchy and so become beautifully soft and fluffy inside when cooked, while still crisping up nicely on the outside. You could also use desiree or kestrel potatoes. Olive oil spray: a spray of oil adds flavour and helps to crisp up the outside of the potato without making the pieces greasy. Salt: I can’t imagine my roast potatoes without a good sprinkle of salt – it’s just heavenly! However, if you’re watching your salt intake, a little sprinkle of garlic powder, onion powder or paprika can boost the flavour. Need some meat to go with your potatoes? Try this delectable air fryer roast pork belly, or these easy air fryer chicken rissoles. Intro and additional recipe notes by Natasha Shaw – Food Writer
When potatoes meet butter and cream, magic happens – and this recipe is the perfect intersection between them all. It only uses 5 ingredients, including a sprinkling of nutmeg for warmth. We start by cooking this potato bake in the oven with the foil on to ensure the potatoes are indulgent, velvety and creamy on the inside, then remove the lid to make sure they’re golden and crispy on top. Designed to share, we love serving this dish as an accompaniment to roast beef or even salmon! On other days, we eat it totally plain (yep, it’s that good!) If you’re looking for a low-fat variation, we recommend swapping out the cream for chicken or vegetable stock. Don’t worry, it’ll still be indulgent and flavourful!
