In this short article, we will provide an answer to the question “how to fry canned potatoes?” and the ways to air fry them.

How to fry canned potatoes?

To compensate for the fact that canned potatoes are pre-cooked, the texture and flavor of your fried potatoes will be altered. If required, drain and chop the canned potatoes once they have been removed from the brine. Sauté the potatoes in your chosen oil if necessary.

Below is a recipe for fried canned potatoes, which you can make at home.

 Using a strainer, drain the potatoes from the can. I made the hasty decision to rinse them under the faucet.

The potatoes should be patted dry with a clean tea towel. Some of the excess liquid should be gently patted away since this will help in crisping the potatoes.

Fry the canned potatoes over medium-high heat until they are a lovely golden brown color. Remove from heat and set aside. Turn often with a little shake of the pan or the use of kitchen tongs.

Serve as soon as possible. These are delicious served as a complement to an omelet or as a stand-alone meal for a cooked morning brunch.

 

Deep-Fried Potatoes Have a Unique Flavor

We often offer fried canned potatoes as a side dish with a fry up or an omelet, although they are delicious with any meal of the day.

To make the fried canned potatoes outstanding, you should boil them in bacon, ham, and onion broth before deep-frying them. Additionally, they may be cooked and added to an omelet or frittata as an ingredient.

Frying canned potatoes is a great way to reuse them while also adding flavor to the dish as well. Canned potatoes that have been cooked to perfection are a staple in our household.

 

INSTRUCTIONS FOR COOKING POTATOES IN AN AIR FRYER

  • In the first step, remove the lid from the potato can. Remove the liquid from the can using tongs. If desired, rinse the potatoes under cold running water to remove any remaining residue.
  • Place the potatoes in a baking dish or other oven-safe dish and bake for 30 minutes.
  • Season the potatoes with the lemon pepper spice mixture. If you can’t get lemon pepper, salt and pepper will serve in its place.
  • Toss the potatoes with 12 tablespoons of melted butter to coat them.
  • Cook for 10-15 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit (204 degrees C). After 10 minutes, check to see if they need to be crispier; if they do, cook for an additional 5 minutes until they are crisp and golden.
  • Remove the dish from the oven and top with any garnishes.

Cooking Potatoes in an Air Fryer: A Few Points to Keep in Mind

You should keep in mind that each air fryer type works a little differently, even though the method is almost the same.

The following are some methods for making dependably excellent and delectable air-fried potatoes:  

  •  The cooking time may need to be adjusted depending on the size of your potatoes. The potatoes in tins are occasionally offered in half or quarters, depending on availability.
  •  In your air fryer, you may cook as little as one can of potatoes or as many as 2-4 cans at a time depending on your needs.
  •  If your potatoes are fairly consistent in size, there is no need to make any adjustments to the cooking time or temperature.
  •  You should only go through this process if the potatoes are substantially different in terms of size or form.
  • When placing a can of liquid in the bakeware or air fryer basket, make sure it is empty.
  •  The extra liquid contained inside the container is unnecessary for cooking. Your spuds will be delicious even if you don’t add any extra moisture. 
  • Stirring your potatoes once in the middle of the cooking period will help them bake evenly throughout the duration. 
  • In most air fryers, the basket may be removed at any point throughout the cooking process to flip or stir the food.

Whether or not it is necessary to dry potatoes before frying or roasting them depends on the recipe.

To get the best texture from the dish, it may be beneficial to dry clean or wet potatoes with a kitchen cloth or paper towels before cooking. After parboiling the potatoes, drain them well and allow them to air dry before continuing to cook. While frying or roasting potatoes that are too wet, they become floppy and mushy as a result of the cooking process.
