Ingredients
| 2 large | floury potatoes (I use Maris Piper) |

| 1 tsp | cornflour (cornstarch) |
| olive oil spray | |
| 40g (1.5oz) | cheese, grated |
| salt and pepper | |

|---|---|

Essential kit
You will need: an air fryer.
Method
Peel and coarsely grate your potatoes. Then soak in a medium–large bowl of cold water for 10 minutes.
Drain the grated potato. Dry it in a clean cloth or tea towel, squeezing to remove the excess water, then return to the bowl. Add the egg, cornflour (cornstarch) and some salt and pepper and mix it all together.
Preheat the air fryer to 200˚C (400˚F). Spray the air fryer rack or basket with oil and divide the mixture into 4 equal patties. Place in the air fryer and spray with oil again. Cook for 14–15 minutes until crisp and golden. Sprinkle the grated cheese on top, then air fry again for 2–3 minutes until the cheese has melted.
For the toppings: Dollop on your favourite toppings. I used sour cream, fresh chives and cooked crumbled bacon bits. Serve straight away and enjoy!
