Ingredients

• 5 oz potatoes (about 1 small potato)
• 1 shallot, chopped
• 1 garlic clove, chopped
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 3.5 oz tuna (about 1 can)
• 1 tbsp flour
• Salt to taste
• Black pepper to taste
• Chopped parsley to taste

For the Breadcrumb Coating:

• 1 egg
• Flour as needed
• Panko breadcrumbs as needed

Materials

• saucepan
• knife
• small bowls
• Air Fryer

Preparation

• Peel the potatoes and cook in boiling water. When ready, remove from heat, drain and mash with a fork. Set aside for later use.
• Brown the chopped shallot and garlic in a frying pan with a little olive oil.
  
• Add tuna (drained), mashed potatoes, flour, salt, pepper and parsley. Turn off heat and stir to combine. Allow to cool completely.
• Roll into balls of desired size. Bread them in the following order: wheat flour, egg and panko breadcrumbs.
  
• Repeat until balls are well coated. Let stand in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
• Apply olive oil to the tray of the Air Fryer using a spray or brush, then space out the balls. Spray again with a little oil and program the Air Fryer in Air Fry mode at 370°F/190°C. Cook the balls for 8 minutes. Turn over halfway through cooking.
  
• And now they're ready! Serve with your favorite sauce (we love dipping them in yogurt sauce) or drizzle with lemon juice!
