Savory Cheesy Chicken Potato Tarts

These golden potato tarts are filled with a savory blend of minced chicken, aromatic black truffle sauce, and vibrant bell peppers, topped with molten cheese.

Ingredients

• 4 large potatoes
• 1 tbsp starch
• 200 g minced chicken breast
• 1/2 red onion
• 1/2 red bell pepper
• 1/2 yellow bell pepper
• 1 tbsp chili powder
• 1 tbsp tomato sauce
• 1 tbsp black truffle sauce
• 2 tbsp seasoning sauce
• 100 g shredded cheese blend
• to taste black pepper
• optional dried parsley

Instructions

1. 1Slice the potatoes

   

   Peel the potatoes and carefully slice them into thin, uniform pieces. This ensures they cook evenly when steamed.

   Tip: Use a mandoline slicer for perfectly even potato slices if you have one.
2. 2Season the steamed potatoes

   

   After steaming the potato slices until tender, place them in a glass bowl. Add black pepper and a spoonful of starch to prepare them for mashing.

   Tip: Ensure the potatoes are fully tender before mashing to get a smooth consistency.
3. 3Mash the potatoes

   

   Using a metal potato masher, crush the seasoned, steamed potato slices until they form a smooth, uniform paste.

   Tip: Mash while the potatoes are still warm for the smoothest texture.
4. 4Shape the tart shells

   

   Take portions of the prepared potato paste and gently mold them by hand into individual tart shell shapes.

   Tip: Keep your gloves lightly oiled to prevent the potato paste from sticking to your hands.
5. 5Sauté the onions

   

   Heat a frying pan and add the diced red onion. Sauté over medium heat until they become fragrant and translucent.

   Tip: Do not burn the onions; cook them just until soft for the best flavor base.
6. 6Cook the chicken

   

   Add the minced chicken breast to the pan with the sautéed onions. Stir-fry until the chicken is fully cooked through and browned.

   Tip: Break up the chicken mince with a spatula while cooking to ensure even browning.
7. 7Season the chicken

   

   Add a spoonful of chili powder and a spoonful of tomato sauce to the sautéed minced chicken in the pan. Mix everything thoroughly to ensure the chicken is well-coated and evenly seasoned.

   Tip: Adjust the chili powder to your preferred spice level.
8. 8Incorporate truffle sauce

   

   Add a spoonful of black truffle sauce and two spoonfuls of seasoning sauce to the pan. Combine these ingredients with the chicken mixture to build a savory, aromatic flavor profile.

   Tip: Truffle sauce adds a sophisticated depth, start with a small amount if you are unfamiliar with the intensity.
9. 9Add bell peppers

   

   Incorporate the diced red and yellow bell peppers into the chicken mixture. Toss everything together in the pan to combine the flavors while keeping the peppers slightly crisp.

   Tip: Adding the peppers last ensures they retain their bright color and fresh texture.
10. 10Fill the tart shells

    

    Carefully spoon the prepared chicken and vegetable mixture into each of the pre-baked potato tart shells. Ensure each shell is generously filled.

    Tip: Use a spoon to lightly press the mixture into the shells for even distribution.
11. 11Top with cheese and bake

    

    Sprinkle a layer of shredded cheese over the chicken-filled potato tarts. Air fry the assembled tarts at 200 degrees for 10 minutes until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden.

    Tip: A blend of cheeses like mozzarella and cheddar works best for a perfect melt.
