Ingredients

For the potatoes

1 pound small yellow potatoes sliced ¼-inch thick
2 tablespoons olive oil
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic salt
½ teaspoon smoked paprika

For the toppings

1 ½ cups sharp cheddar cheese shredded
4 slices bacon cooked and crumbled
¼ cup green onions sliced
½ cup sour cream
2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped, optional

Instructions

Preheat the air fryer to 400-F for 5 minutes.
Toss the sliced potatoes with olive oil, black pepper, garlic salt, and smoked paprika until well coated.
Arrange them in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until crispy and golden brown.
Sprinkle the potatoes with shredded cheddar and crumbled bacon. Return to the air fryer and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted.
Top with green onions, drizzle with sour cream, and sprinkle with chopped parsley if using. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

Chef Jenn's Tips

Slice the potatoes evenly to ensure they cook uniformly.
Avoid overcrowding the air fryer to help the potatoes crisp up properly.
Let the cheese fully melt before serving for the best texture.
Get creative with toppings! Try diced avocado, crispy fried onions, or a drizzle of ranch.
