Ingredients
- 4 large Russett Potatoes

- 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Serve: Sour Cream, Sliced Green Onions, Cooked Bacon, etc.
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees F (200°C) for 3-5 minutes. Place the bottom of the potato on a cutting board, and cut potatoes into 1/4 to 1/2 thick slices.
- Combine the melted butter, salt, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper in a small bowl. Add the sliced potatoes to the bowl, toss them well, and coat them with the butter mixture.
- Spray your air fryer basket with cooking spray, brush with olive oil, or line with parchment paper. Transfer the potato mixture to the air fryer basket in a single layer. Set the cooking time for 15 minutes, shaking the basket every 5 minutes to ensure even cooking.
- After 15 minutes, sprinkle the shredded cheese on top of the potatoes and cook for another 2-3 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish with fresh herbs, if desired, and serve immediately.
