Cook the potatoes:

Resting time:

Notes
Tips for the air fryer roast pork:
- If the crackling isn't crisp once the core temperature is reached, turn the air fryer up to 220 °C (or its highest temperature) and give the roast another 5–8 minutes with the rind facing up. Keep an eye on it so it doesn't burn.
- Remember that cooking times can vary depending on your air fryer model and the size of your roast pork.
- Keep an eye on the roast while it cooks to achieve the best result.
- Turn the roast once more if needed.
