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!
