• 1 cup grated Parmigiano Reggiano

• salt, to taste

• black pepper, to taste

• 4 large eggs

Instructions

1. Wash the potatoes well and boil them in plenty of water until fork tender.

2. Drain the potatoes, let them cool slightly, then peel them.

3. Mash the potatoes in a large bowl using a potato masher.

4. Add the grated Parmigiano Reggiano, salt, and black pepper.

5. Mix well until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined.

6. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into balls.

7. Place the potato balls in the air fryer basket, leaving a little space between them.

8. Gently press down the center of each one with the back of a spoon to create a well deep enough to hold an egg.

9. Air fry at 350°F for 20 minutes.

10. Open the air fryer and carefully crack one whole egg into the center of each potato cake.

11. Add another small pinch of salt on top of each egg.

13. Serve warm.

Tips & Tricks

• If the potato mixture feels too soft, let it cool for a few minutes before shaping.

• Slightly wet hands can help you form the potato cakes more easily.

• Keep an eye on the final cooking time, since air fryers can vary slightly.

• These are best served hot, when the outside is lightly crisp and the egg is perfectly set.
