Air Fryer Recipe
Air Fried Black Pudding Hash
A simple, tasty black pudding hash that comes together beautifully in the air fryer.
Ingredients
- 200g black pudding
- 2 large potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Fresh parsley for garnishing
Method
- Cut the potatoes into small cubes.
- Chop the onion and red bell pepper, and mince the garlic.
- Preheat the air fryer to 200°C (392°F) for 5 minutes.
- Toss the potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then cook in the air fryer for 10 minutes, shaking halfway through.
- Add the onion, bell pepper, and garlic to the potatoes, then cook for another 5-7 minutes.
- Slice the black pudding, add it to the air fryer, and cook for 5 minutes until heated through and crispy.
- Finish with parsley and serve hot.
Why this works in an air fryer
The air fryer uses rapid air circulation to create a convection effect, ensuring even cooking and crisping of the potatoes and black pudding by removing surface moisture and rendering fats effectively.
Equipment notes
Assumes a 5-litre basket; in a dual-zone fryer, cook potatoes in one zone and add vegetables and black pudding in the other to manage timing and crisping.
Common pitfalls
- Potatoes not browning by minute 10? Increase temperature by 10°C for 3 minutes; moisture content might be too high.
- Black pudding falling apart? Reduce cooking time to 3 minutes and ensure slices are thicker.
- Vegetables burning? Add them later or reduce temperature by 20°C; they cook faster than potatoes.
Variations & substitutions
- Substitute sweet potatoes for a sweeter, less starchy base; reduce initial cooking time by 2 minutes.
- Use chorizo instead of black pudding for a spicier profile; adjust cooking time to 4 minutes to prevent drying.
- Add a fried egg on top for a richer dish; cook separately and place on top before serving.
Storage & reheating
Reheat in the air fryer at 180°C for 5 minutes; keeps well in the fridge for up to 2 days.
