Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb potatoes, washed and dried (about 3 medium potatoes)
  • oil spray
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Method
 

  1. Thinly slice potatoes and evenly spray with oil.
  2. Lightly spray a 7-inch cake pan or accessory bucket. Arrange potato slices vertically, aligning edges, and fan them out if there's room. Place the pan into your air fryer.
  3. Air fry at 360°F (180°C) for 18 minutes.
  4. While potatoes cook, mix heavy cream, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper in a bowl until combined.
  5. After 18 minutes, pour the cream mixture over the potatoes. Gently press them down to help them settle into the cream.
  6. Reduce air fryer temperature to 300°F (150°C) and cook for another 15-18 minutes, or until potatoes are tender when pierced.
  7. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top. Air fry for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

- Ensure potatoes are sliced thinly and uniformly for even cooking.
- For an extra cheesy crust, add a little Parmesan cheese with the cheddar.
- Allow the potatoes to rest for 10 minutes after cooking; this is crucial for the sauce to thicken and set.
