	Peel and cut potatoes into pieces. The size is up to you, but if you’re cooking in an air fryer, you can go slightly smaller.

	If you need to, you can take a break now. Just cover the potatoes with water to prevent them from drying out.
		Put the roasting dish in the oven with the oil in it to heat the oil.
		Drop the potatoes into a large pan and pour in enough water to barely cover them.
		Wait for the water to boil. As soon as the water reaches a full rolling boil, lower the heat, put your timer on and simmer the potatoes uncovered, reasonably vigorously, for 2 mins.
	In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, smoked paprika, and garlic granules, and season with salt and pepper. Make sure that the potatoes are well coated.
		Sprinkle with 2 tsp flour and give another shake or two so they are evenly and thinly coated.
	Place in the Air Fryer basket, and roast at 195°C for 10 minutes.	Carefully put the potatoes into the hot oil – they will sizzle as they go in – then turn and roll them around so they are coated all over.
	Flip the potatoes, and roast for 10 more minutes.	Spread them in a single layer making sure they have plenty of room.
		Roast the potatoes for 15 mins, then take them out of the oven and turn them over.
		Roast for another 15 mins and turn them over again.
		Put them back in the oven for another 10-20 mins, or however long it takes to get them really golden and crisp. The colouring will be uneven, which is what you want.
