Air Fryer for the first time
Great job on using your Air Fryer for the first time! 🍟 Here’s a quick breakdown of what you did and how it likely turned out — plus a few tips to improve it next time if needed:
âś… What You Did Right
- Microwaving the potatoes first: This par-cooked them, making the Air Fryer time shorter.
- Light oil spray + seasoning: Helps with crispiness and flavor.
- Step-down temperature control (200°C → 160°C → 200°C): Smart move — lets the insides cook without burning the outside.
- Adding cheese at the end: Perfect timing to melt it without burning.
🧀 Likely Result
You probably ended up with crispy-skinned, fluffy-inside potatoes with melted cheese — kind of like loaded baked potatoes or crispy jackets.
🔧 Tips for Next Time
- Pierce the skin before microwaving — helps steam escape.
- For extra crispiness, toss them in a tiny bit of cornstarch with the oil before air frying.
- You can skip the middle 160°C step if you want them crispier, and just flip halfway at 200°C for 20 mins.
- Add toppings like sour cream, green onions, or bacon bits after air frying for loaded potato vibes.
