Roast beef: which side dishes to choose?

The side dish in a dish is almost as important as the main part. Roast beef served as is on a plate makes no sense. For her recipe, the cook chose to prepare potato style potatoes. A great idea, because potatoes and beef are made to get along. To make these potatoes, after cutting your potatoes into quarters, pre-cook them for 25 minutes in a pan of boiling water. Drain them then season them with a mixture of oregano, basil and rosemary, garlic powder, parsley and smoked paprika. Massage them using your hands to distribute the spices evenly. Place your potatoes in the tank of your Air Fryer with your roast and let them cook together. This will give your potatoes lots of flavor!
