Aussie cook reveals $1.60 secret to 'delish' crispy roast potatoes

Get your air fryer ready because an Aussie TikToker has revealed how to make crispy roast potatoes in under 20 minutes. Even better, the delicious recipe will cost you less than $2.

In a video that's been viewed 1.4 million times, airfry_jen simply pours a can of whole potatoes into a bowl, sprinkles on some salt, pepper and cajun seasoning, and then puts them into an air fryer at 220 degrees for 12 minutes.

Viewers were grateful for the tip and wasted no time recreating the recipe themselves. "I tried these. Thank you, they were delish," one TikTok user commented.

Another home cook agreed, writing, "Tried this and it was so quick and easy".

Someone else gave praise to the often-overlooked vegetable used in the recipe, noting, "I find that the tinned potato is underrated. They are so useful to have in the cupboard."

You can pick up a tin from Woolworths for just $1.60.
