Ingredients
- 2 desiree (red-skinned) potatoes, cut into 1 cm slices
- 3 tbsp olive oil, divided
- ½ tsp ground paprika
- Salt and black pepper
- 200 g satay tofu pieces
For the pickles
- 6 dill pickles, sliced
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 tsp mild paprika
- 1 long red chilli, deseeded, finely chopped (optional)
- ½ cup plant-based ranch dressing, plus extra to serve
- Canola oil spray
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 200˚C. In a medium bowl, combine the potatoes, 2 tbsp olive oil, paprika and a generous pinch of salt and black pepper. Toss well to combine, then air fry for 25-30 minutes, shaking the air fryer basket every 10 minutes to ensure even cooking results.
- While the potatoes cook, pat the dill pickle slices dry with paper towels. Prepare a crumbing station of two shallow bowls by combining the panko breadcrumbs, paprika, chilli (if using) and a generous pinch of salt and pepper in the first bowl, then pour the plant-based ranch dressing in the second bowl. Dip the pickle slices in the ranch dressing, then into the seasoned breadcrumbs, pressing lightly to coat the pickles with the breadcrumbs.
- Once the potatoes have finished cooking, transfer to a serving plate and keep warm. Grease the air fryer basket with spray oil, then arrange the crumbed pickles in a single layer. Air fry at 200°C for 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden-brown and crispy.
- While the pickles fry, heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a small frying pan. Add the satay tofu pieces and pan-fry until crisp and warmed through.
- Serve the potatoes, pickles and satay tofu with extra ranch dressing on the side.
