Susie's Favourite Ninja Roast Potatoes

Ingredients based on a serving for 4
750g floury potatoes (we used Maris Piper)
1 tsp flaky salt, plus extra to serve
1 tsp cider vinegar
1½ tbsp plain flour
3 clove/s garlic, unpeeled
3 rosemary sprigs
5 tbsp goose fat or duck fat
Method we followed from the Waitrose website
1. Preheat the air fryer to 180ºC. Peel the potatoes and cut into large chunks (halve small ones and quarter larger potatoes).
2. Put in a saucepan and rinse in a few changes of cold water to remove excess starch.
3. Cover with cold water and add the salt and vinegar. Put on a lid and bring to the boil over a high heat, bubbling for 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are very tender but still holding together.
4. Drain and allow to steam-dry for at least 5 minutes. Return to the dry pan and sprinkle over the flour.
5. Holding the lid on firmly, give the pan a few firm shakes to break up the edges of the spuds and distribute the flour.
6. Warm the goose fat in a small pan until just melted then pour over potatoes; give the pan a further shake to coat.
7. Put the potatoes in the air-fryer basket, spreading in a snug single layer on top of the rack.
8. Bash the garlic cloves and add to the basket with the rosemary. Insert the basket into the air fryer and cook for 35-40 minutes, flipping them halfway, until crispy and a rich golden.
Serve sprinkled with extra flaky salt

Hi susie just done your roast potatoes, ive used lard because I didn't have goose fat and cooked for 35 mins as my hubby likes them really crispy them came out a treat thankyou carole

[@cookingwithsusie]

I use anything I have in my love , found they work good with most oils and I only have goose or duck fat at Christmas and my husband prefers ordinary oils ! Glad you enjoyed them xxx

[@jillweybridge7758]

Gorgeous and delicious crispy roast potatoes. Thank you so much Susie, for your demonstration. Regards.

[@cookingwithsusie]

Thank you , hope you get to enjoy them xx

[@sandrawestley4193]

I always park boil my roast potatoes, usually about 8 mins, drain leave to dry out a bit, then with lid on shake them all about knocking the corners off, then add some olive oil tip in to roasting tin.

[@cookingwithsusie]

Yes I have been doing mine like that too , I do find when I do them the other way with the flower you do get a different kind of crust on them , although too much flower and it all goes wrong !! 😂😂😂xx

[@gkelly34]

Am going to give this a try today, thank you they look delicious 👍

[@cookingwithsusie]

[@In_Craigs_Eyes]

Hi Susie, Happy New Year to you! I love this recipe and will be trying this on my Sunday Lunch Tomorrow. I thought about you this week as I know you love Waitrose meat, I love the Waitrose Essential Chicken Breasts and always buy them, I did an online order this week and they substituted my usual Chicken Breasts for the Duchy Organic Ones, initially I was very happy as I thought it was a nice upgrade considering they were four times the price. They were not nice at all so tough and stringy I just couldn't believe it, moral to this story is more expensive is not always better! xx

[@cookingwithsusie]

Absolutely agree ! We recently had waitrose substituted one of our favourite wines for a more expensive one , two bottle I took one back the next day !! I only buy the essentials range myself and it is good . Hope you enjoy it xxx

[@ginawingrove7061]

Those look amazing Suzie, well worth the effort. I hope I can get the same result with a vegetable oil. Thank you x

[@cookingwithsusie]

You should get exactly the same result just don’t put to many in the pan as I found they don’t crisp the same xxxxx

[@sandralendon8502]

Hi Susie it’s Sandra just to let you know l done your mushroom sauce It was delicious,thanks so very much for your help xx

[@cookingwithsusie]

Thank you Sandra so pleased you enjoyed it xxx

Hi roast potatoes are so good done in the Ninja. I'm going try grow herbs this year . Thanks. X

[@cookingwithsusie]

I love my herbs and having the ninja means I have herbs all year ! Love it xxx

[@user-eb6kv7sy5u]

Amazing am going to cook today x

[@cookingwithsusie]

Enjoy xx

[@beejaybhatt]

Which mode did you use to cook these? I’ve today ordered the ninja foodie as an early birthday gift for myself and I’m so so excited for it to arrive!

[@cookingwithsusie]

Hi , I always do my roasties on airfry , it is nice and hot and the fans are working fast so it gets the heat around them all meaning you get lovely crisp roasties every time . Hope you love it xxx

[@dorinda8097]

Hi susie. Can you also show us how to dry out your own herbs in the ninja on dehydrate?

[@cookingwithsusie]

I certainly will although at the moment I only have sage in the garden but I will see what I can do xx

[@Silverdale15]

Mmmmmmmm interesting I was told to expel all steam as it's that that causes soggy roasties and leave lid off allow to go cold swish on oil ...seasoning ...etc. lob into ninja at 190 or 180 wing it 😁 for 25 mins they were all perfect parsnips carrots and spuds all in same basket complete opposite 🤔its all too weird I don't think there is a hard and fast rule it's down to each person's findings and preferred cooking method...great vid though always brightens my days xxx

[@cookingwithsusie]

I have to be honest I have never made roast potatoes this way before either ! It was only when I saw the recipe in waitrose with such good looking potatoes I decided to give it a try , I would agree about no hard and fast rules though and I also cannot understand how it works 😂 . One thing I have found , I prefer to pan fry my steaks 🥩 the ninja cooks them but I honestly find a good hot pan so quick and I butter baste my steak and get amazing flavour . It is all a bit weird 😂😂😂😂 xxxxx

[@Silverdale15]

@@cookingwithsusie yes agree about the steak must be in a pan !!!! Xxx ❤️😂

[@darrenclayton8635]

Hi Susie, did you do any mid-cook basket shakes or just leave them to get on with it?

[@cookingwithsusie]

Always do shakes Darren , helps them to separate and keeps them crispy ! Also use your judgement of how you like them the times are guide lines and if they look done to you then stop them and enjoy xx

[@rebeccabrown3898]

What temp ion the airfryer? She said 180 but is that Fahrenheit?

[@cookingwithsusie]

I do them most times on 200 c on the airfryer I find slightly hotter is better xx

[@ginashaw5748]

hi susie did you cook them on roast setting or just air fry setting

[@cookingwithsusie]

Hi Gina I did them on air fry setting at 200 degrees and I do them about twice a week now 😂😂

[@ginashaw5748]

@@cookingwithsusie thank you so much im going to try these

[@elainewright6096]

Great potatoes, but I'm vegetarian and only use olive oil or vegetable fat,ninjas are a god send

[@cookingwithsusie]

My Granddaughter, I have 3 and one of them is vegetarian, I always try to make something for her , she loves roast potatoes xxxx

[@sandrawestley4193]

It will come out just as good with olive oil.

[@johnnybaker720]

Hi susie what was the heat setting

[@cookingwithsusie]

It was 180 , but if yours are large potatoes you can always go to 190 xxx

[@johnnybaker720]

@@cookingwithsusie thank you susie

[@juliepacey4446]

Hi susie are the silicone liners advisable to use 😊

[@anthonyreynolds4150]

Chicken thighs what temp and time

[@cookingwithsusie]

Hi Anthony , if the thoughts have bones in they take a little longer but if they are boned with just skins I would season them or use a favourite dry rub then I would say airfry 200 for about 10-15 mins depending how big they are ! I would shake them and turn the half way through cooking . I would use a meat thermometer to check fully cooked xx

[@Lindawharton2]

That’s a lot of S&P……?

[@cookingwithsusie]

I do like lots of seasoning 😂😂especially on potatoes xx
