Ingredients
Rosti
- 350 g (12 oz) potatoes, peeled
- 1 egg
- ½ onion, peeled and finely chopped
- Big handful of parsley, chopped
- Salt and black pepper
- Spray oil
Meatballs
- ½ onion, peeled and finely chopped
- 250 g (9 oz) beef mince
- 1 egg
- 20 g (¾ oz) breadcrumbs
- Big handful of parsley, chopped
- Few sprigs of thyme, leaves only
- Salt and black pepper
- Tomato sauce (e.g. passata or jarred pasta sauce), to serve
Instructions
- To make the rosti, cook the whole potatoes in a saucepan of salted boiling water for 10 minutes. They should still be a little firm. Drain and let cool, then grate the potatoes and place in a bowl. Add the egg, chopped onion and parsley and season with salt and pepper. Stir to combine, then form patties (you can use a biscuit cutter to shape). Spray the airfryer basket with oil, place the patties in the basket and cook for 20 minutes at 180°C (350°F), turning halfway through the cooking time.
- To make the meatballs, combine all the ingredients in a bowl. Form six balls and place in the airfryer basket. Cook for 10 minutes at 180°C (350°F), turning halfway through the cooking time.
- Serve the meatballs and rosti with the pasta sauce, heated if desired, and rice if using.
Tip
Serve this dish with a side of rice if you like.

Cook's Notes
Oven temperatures are for conventional; if using fan-forced (convection), reduce the temperature by 20˚C. | We use Australian tablespoons and cups: 1 teaspoon equals 5 ml; 1 tablespoon equals 20 ml; 1 cup equals 250 ml. | All herbs are fresh (unless specified) and cups are lightly packed. | All vegetables are medium size and peeled, unless specified. | All eggs are 55-60 g, unless specified.
