Instructions

  1. Preheat the Air Fryer: Begin by preheating your air fryer to 180°C (360°F). This ensures the ingredients cook evenly and achieve a nice crisp texture.
  2. Prepare the Ingredients: Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes for quick cooking. Slice the black pudding into bite-sized pieces. Chop the onion and red bell pepper finely. Mince the garlic cloves.
  3. Combine the Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the potatoes, onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated with oil and seasoning.
  4. Cook the Hash: Place the vegetable mixture in the air fryer basket. Spread it out evenly. Cook for about 15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway to ensure even cooking.
  5. Add the Black Pudding: After 15 minutes, add the black pudding slices to the air fryer basket. Mix them gently with the vegetables. Continue cooking for another 5-7 minutes or until the potatoes are golden brown and the black pudding is crispy.
  6. Serve: Once cooked, transfer the hash to serving plates. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve hot and enjoy your delicious black pudding hash!
