Rather than opting for normal potatoes that you have to peel and then boil and then roast in the oven, people are using tinned potatoes instead.

You can get your hands on them at Woolies for example for just $1.60.

All you need is an airfryer, oil or cooking spray and seasonings – many are opting for a combination of salt, pepper, garlic; with cajun seasoning also proving popular.

One person says they cook them for 12 minutes at 220 degrees, while a few leave them a little longer.

"I whack them in the air fryer for 20 minutes. But I take them out after 10 and give them a wee shake. Honestly, these are so good. They're so soft and mushy."

"They were delicious, so quick as well," another agreed.

While a third shared: "I decided to make the air fryer tinned potatoes today. I put them in at 200C for 25 minutes but they probably only needed 20. Lovely and soft and fluffy, and crispy on the outside. Give them a go, they're really good."
