For the Potato Patties

For the poached eggs

  • 4 medium eggs

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the air fryer to 200 C.
  • Place the bacon in the air fryer in a single layer and cook for about 8-10 minutes, until crispy. Repeat with the remaining bacon if you can’t fit it all in at once. Place on a paper towel to cool, then chop into small pieces.
  • Beat the egg in a large bowl. Add all the potato patty ingredients, including the chopped bacon, and mix to combine.
  • Take a large spoonfuls of the potato mixture and use your hands to mould into thick patties.
  • Tip the Diamond Coat ‘n Cook into a flat dish and press each potato patty into it, turning to coat both sides.
  • Spray the coated potato patties lightly with cooking oil. Place the patties in the air-fryer tray.
  • Cook for 5 minutes, then turn and cook for another 5 minutes.
  • Set the cooked patties aside while you prepare the poached eggs.
  • Cook the poached eggs in the air fryer. Heat the air fryer to 200C. Half fill each ramekin with freshly boiled water. Break an egg into each ramekin.
  • Place the ramekins in the air fryer and cook for 6 minutes. Once the 6 minutes are up, open the air fryer and stand for another minute.
  • Working carefully, remove the poached eggs from the ramekins and drain on a paper towel before serving with the Bacon & Potato Patties.

Notes

Spray your hands with a little cooking oil before moulding the potato patties - it helps prevent the mixture from sticking to your hands.
