Dried herbs provide flavor without the cost of fresh.

Peel and chop potatoes into bite-size chunks - about 3-3.5cm (approx. 1+1/4 to 1+1/3 inches). Rinse under cold water and pat dry.

Place a shallow tray insert into your air fryer basket.

Add the potatoes to the tray. Drizzle on the oil and give a good shake or stir - so the potatoes are fully covered in oil.

Cook for 5 minutes in the air fryer at 200C/400F, then turn or shake the potatoes and cook for a further 5 minutes.

Turn or shake the potatoes again and give them a bit of a bash with the back of a spoon - to ruffle the edges slightly. Drizzle on a further tbsp of oil.

Cook for another 10 minutes (so it will be 20 minutes cooking time altogether), until the potatoes are crisp and golden.

Sprinkle with salt and thyme before serving.
