Whole Baked Sweet Potatoes from the Airfryer

Name: Whole Baked Sweet Potatoes from the Airfryer
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 43 min
Total time: 58 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 4 piece sweet potatoes (approx. 250 g each); 1 tbsp rapeseed oil; 1 tsp coarse salt; 200 g quark; 1 bunch chives; 1 tsp sweet paprika; 1 pinch salt; pepper to taste

A German everyday recipe that by now comes to the table all over Germany: whole sweet potatoes cook in their skins until they are as soft as purée inside. The flesh tastes sweet and lightly nutty, the skin turns thin and salty, and the cool herb quark holds its own against it. Sweet potatoes need less time than floury potatoes and stay softer; the basket is hot in three minutes, but only four tubers fit side by side.

Instructions

1
Scrub the sweet potatoes thoroughly under running water and pat them dry, because the skin is eaten as well.
2
Prick each tuber several times with a fork so that the steam can escape and the skin does not burst.
3
Rub the sweet potatoes all over with the rapeseed oil and sprinkle them with the coarse salt.
4
Preheat the airfryer to 180 °C. Potato products are never cooked hotter than 180 °C, so that they turn golden yellow rather than dark.
5
Lay the tubers into the basket in a single layer with space between them and stack nothing; cook larger quantities in two batches. Cook at 180 °C.
6
Turn the sweet potatoes and carry on cooking at 180 °C until a knife slides into the middle without resistance and the skin is golden yellow rather than dark.
7
Meanwhile snip the chives into fine rings and stir the quark smooth with the chives, the sweet paprika, the pinch of salt and the pepper.
8
Cut the hot sweet potatoes open crossways, press the halves apart a little and spoon the herb quark inside. The quark goes in only now, because quark without a coating has no place in the basket and would run out there.
