Method

  • Step 1

    Peel the potatoes and cook them in salted water, then mash them with a fork and set aside. 

  • Step 2

    In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, add in warm water and milk and then crumble in the yeast. Stir in sugar and let sit until frothy – about 5 minutes.

  • Step 3

    Add in the salt and flour and knead on low until the dough pulls away from the sides.

  • Step 4

    Add in the mashed potatoes and knead for 5-10 minutes until the dough forms a smooth ball. 

  • Step 5

    Using your hands, form the dough on a floured surface into a round ball. Lightly oil the bowl and then place the ball in bowl to prove.

  • Step 6

    Cover with plastic wrap and let it prove until it has doubled. About 1 hour.

  • Step 7

    While the dough is rising, fry the bacon and shallot together.

  • Step 8

    In a small bowl combine the fried shallots and bacon, sour cream, garlic salt, white pepper and parsley. Adjust seasoning to taste. Cover mixture and place in the refrigerator.

  • Step 9

    When dough is ready, use oiled hands to knock it down and remove it from the bowl. Use a knife to divide it into 8 portions. Flatten each portion with your hand into a circle that is thinner in the center and thicker on the edges. Let the prepared dough rest under a tea towel.

  • Step 10

    Insert the crisper basket unit. Select AIR FRY, set temperature to 210°C and set time to 5 minutes. Press START/STOP to begin preheating. 

  • Step 11

    When the unit beeps to signify it has preheated, brush or spray the crisper basket with some oil, then add 1-2 portions of dough. Brush the tops of the dough with some oil. Close lid and cook for 5 minutes.  

  • Step 12

    When cooking is complete, use silicone tongs to remove the Langos from the crisper basket to a warming plate. Continue until all the dough has been air fried.

  • Step 13

    When all the Langos are ready, serve immediately with the sour cream sauce. If desired – you may also sprinkle on a nutty grated cheese like Gouda or Swiss.
