If you're preparing meals for one or two people, the Energy Saving Trust suggests that an air fryer may be cheaper to run.

“We've been enjoying roast potatoes cooked in the air fryer for 10 years,” she says. “But I replaced olive oil with duck fat five years after I started cooking roasts in the air fryer.
“They were so good that I now only eat roasts made with duck or goose fat. But before you criticize them for using high-fat ingredients, the air fryer works by reducing fat while reducing fat. Note that the purpose is to make crispy food. All you need is some of the duck fat needed to cook in the oven.”

2 lbs/900g medium red potatoes 1 tbsp duck or goose fat 2 tsp dried rosemary 1 tsp dried thyme Pinch of mustard powder Salt, black pepper Peel the potatoes, cut them in half, then cut them into quarters. Set it to 1. Place in a bowl with the duck fat, rosemary, thyme and mustard powder. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper and mix well with your hands to coat the potatoes evenly. Place the potatoes in the air fryer basket and spread out. Air fry at 160°C/320°F for 25 minutes or until potatoes are fork-tender. Shake the potatoes and air fry for another 5 minutes at 200°C/400°F to crisp them up. If you are not satisfied with the level of crispiness, cook for an additional 4 minutes or until desired doneness.
Expert tip: You can use any potato, but red potatoes will give you the best results as they are less starchy and are better suited for air frying.
