Air-Fryer Potato and Cheese Casserole Squares
Ingredients:
- 3 large potatoes (peeled and grated)
- 1 onion (finely chopped)
- 1 carrot (peeled and grated)
- 1 bell pepper (finely chopped)
- Olive oil (for sautéing)
- Salt (to taste)
- Chives (chopped)
- 3 eggs
- 300 ml milk
- 200 g wholemeal flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 150 g cheese (grated)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Vegetables:
- Heat a small amount of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent.
- Add the grated carrot and chopped bell pepper. Cook for a few more minutes until they are slightly tender. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Prepare the Potato Base:
- In a large bowl, mix the grated potatoes with a pinch of salt. Let it sit for a few minutes, then squeeze out the excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth.
- Spread the grated potatoes evenly in the bottom of a greased Airfryer-safe baking dish.
- Prepare the Batter:
- In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk.
- Add the wholemeal flour and baking powder to the egg mixture, stirring until well combined.
- Mix in the sautéed vegetables and chopped chives. Season with salt to taste.
- Assemble the Casserole:
- Pour the batter over the grated potatoes in the baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
- Sprinkle the grated cheese on top of the batter.
- Cook in the Airfryer:
- Preheat your Airfryer to 180°C (350°F).
- Place the baking dish in the Airfryer basket.
- Cook for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is set. You can check the doneness by inserting a toothpick or knife into the center; it should come out clean.
- Serve:
- Let the casserole cool slightly, then cut it into squares and serve warm.
