Instructions
- 1Soak the potatoes in just-boiled water for 30 mins, then drain and leave to air-dry for 5 mins. Heat the air fryer to 200C. Tip the potatoes into a bowl and drizzle over 1 tbsp of the oil and add 1/2 tsp each of salt and freshly ground black pepper. Mix to coat the potatoes all over, then tip into the air fryer basket and cook for 20-30 mins just until crisp and golden.
- 2Meanwhile, heat the remaining oil in a small pan over a medium-low heat and fry the onion for 8-10 mins until softened but not golden. Stir in the garlic and cook for a minute before adding the paprika and cooking for 30 seconds more. Stir in the tomato purée, cook for 1 min, then tip in the chopped tomatoes. Cook for 5-10 mins over a medium heat; stop when thickened slightly.

Chef tips
To get the crispiest potatoes, soak the cubes in cold water for 20 minutes and dry them thoroughly before seasoning and popping them into the air fryer. For a child-friendly version, serve the spicy sauce on the side or swap hot paprika for sweet, and finish with a drizzle of homemade garlic aioli.
