WHEN it comes to rustling up golden, crispy potatoes, very few people would think of using cheap tinned potatoes.

First up, she empties the water out of the tin and gently pats the potatoes dry using a piece of kitchen roll.
The food whizz then adds a dash of salt and pepper, along with a sprinkle of smoked paprika and garlic granules.
Next, she spritzes them with Frylight, mixes it altogether, before popping them in the air fryer for 24 mins at 190 degrees.
And there's no denying the tinned potatoes now look totally mouthwatering.
She captioned the post: "Oh my WOW, who knew tinned potatoes could turn out so good! P.S. finally got an air fryer and its changed my life."
The post quickly went viral and racked up a whopping 1.5 million views and several comments - with many food fans eager to share their own tips and recipes.
