Recipe creator and cookbook author Nate Anthony has taken social media by storm with his quick and flavourful recipe for restaurant-quality potatoes. A big advocate of the air fryer, Nate’s recipe has particularly impressed fans of Nando’s, as he uses peri peri seasoning from the beloved chicken chain to spice up his spuds.
In a recent TikTok video, he showcased how to whip up these tasty potatoes in less than 25 minutes, making them an ideal side dish for any meal. 2023 saw Nate dominate the book charts with two number-one Sunday Times best-selling cookbooks, ‘The Healthy Slow Cooker Book’ and ‘The Healthy Air Fryer Book’.
He’s also just released his fifth cookbook, focusing on easy slow cooker recipes that require only six ingredients. The air fryer has become an essential appliance for those wanting to prepare delicious and healthy meals at home without racking up high energy bills.
Nate’s inventive use of the air fryer demonstrates its versatility, even showing that you can make soup in it. Earlier this year, he created a straightforward red pepper soup entirely using the air fryer, with the recipe here, reports the Express.
Nate’s clever use of Nando’s flavours takes your potato dishes to the next level. His video has attracted over 60,300 views, with one viewer commenting: “I loveeee the Nando’s sweet chilli jam.”
