Airfryer Potatoes Stuffed Green Chilli
Mild green chillies filled with a spiced potato mix and cooked in the air fryer with a light spray of oil. A simple hot snack or side dish.
Ingredients
- 6 big green chillies (about 7 ounces / 200 grams)
- 3 boiled potatoes (about 10 ounces / 300 grams)
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
- 2 green chillies (finely chopped)
- 3 garlic cloves (finely chopped)
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped coriander leaves
- ½ teaspoon black pepper powder
- Salt (to taste (about ½ teaspoon))
- ½ teaspoon chilli flakes (for sprinkling)
- Oil spray
Instructions
- Boil the potatoes until soft. Let them cool, then peel and mash well.
- Wash and dry the big green chillies. Cut each one in half along its length and remove the seeds.
- In a bowl, mix the mashed potatoes, onion, chopped green chillies, garlic, coriander leaves, black pepper powder, and salt.
- Fill each chilli with the potato mix. Sprinkle chilli flakes on top.
- Preheat the air fryer at 360°F (180°C) for 2 minutes.
- Place the stuffed chillies in the basket one by one. Spray oil on top and air fry at 360°F (180°C) for 12 minutes.
- Check the chillies. They are ready when the skin is soft and the filling is hot and lightly golden on top. Air fry for 2 to 3 more minutes if needed.
- Serve hot as a snack or side dish.
Notes
- Boil the potatoes before you start. Boiling time is not part of the prep time.
- Use mild green chillies. Remove all seeds to keep the heat lower.
- Do not crowd the basket. Cook in two rounds if needed.
- Store in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat at 350°F (175°C) for 3 to 4 minutes.
