Ingredients
- 3 pieces Large Potatoes (about 300 g each, boiled until fork‑tender)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter (melted)
- 5 tablespoons All-Purpose Flour (sifted)
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil (for greasing plastic wrap and air‑fryer basket)
- 1/2 cup Grated Cheddar Cheese (shredded, room temperature)
Instructions
Boil Potatoes
Place the three potatoes in a large pot, cover with cold water, add a pinch of salt, and bring to a boil. Cook until the potatoes are fork‑tender, about 12‑15 minutes.
Time: PT15M
Temperature: 100°C
Drain and Peel
Drain the potatoes in a colander, let them cool for 2 minutes, then peel them (or peel before boiling if you prefer).
Time: PT3M
Mash Potatoes
Transfer the peeled potatoes to a mixing bowl and mash until completely smooth with a potato masher or fork.
Time: PT4M
Make Dough
Add the melted butter and flour to the mashed potatoes. Stir until a soft, non‑sticky dough forms.
Time: PT5M
Prepare Work Surface
Lightly grease a sheet of plastic wrap with a little vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
Time: PT2M
Shape and Fill
Place a golf‑ball‑sized portion of dough on the greased wrap, flatten into a 4‑inch round, add about 1 tbsp of grated cheese in the center, then fold over and seal the edges by pressing firmly.
Time: PT8M
Air‑Fry Pockets
Preheat the air fryer to 200°C. Lightly brush the basket with oil, place the sealed pockets in a single layer, and air‑fry for 5‑6 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crisp.
Time: PT10M
Temperature: 200°C
Serve
Remove the pockets with tongs, let cool 1 minute, then serve hot. Optional: sprinkle extra cheese or fresh herbs on top.
Time: PT3M
