Critical Success Points

  • Seasoning the first batch of potatoes evenly
  • Boiling whole potatoes just until tender
  • Mixing the grated potatoes with rice flour to achieve a binding dough
  • Shaping uniform balls to ensure even air‑frying
  • Avoiding overcrowding in the air‑fryer basket

Safety Warnings

  • Handle the boiling water with care to avoid burns.
  • The air fryer basket becomes extremely hot; use tongs or oven mitts when removing.
  • Olive oil droplets can cause splatter; add drops slowly when greasing hands.
