Air Fryer Loaded Potato Rounds

Air Fryer Loaded Potato Rounds

These Air Fryer Loaded Potato Rounds could be an appetizer recipe, or they could be an easy side dish.

We had them along side of Sriracha Honey Mustard Chicken and they were fabulous.

The inspiration for these is from my husband who orders something very similar at one of our favorite restaurants.

They deep fry the potatoes, but by using the air fryer it cuts just enough calories for me to justify the bacon and cheesy goodness.

How to make Air Fryer Loaded Potato Rounds

Start by slicing two russet potatoes into 1/4 inch slices.

And if you’re not feeding lots of hungry kids like me, you could cut this recipe in half and only use one potato.

Then brush both sides of the potato rounds lightly with olive oil.

I found this was a pretty easy job to do on a baking sheet.

Next, season both sides with a little kosher salt and pepper.

And into the air fryer basket. These will cook in the air fryer for 10 to 12 minutes at 400 degrees.

No need to flip.

I mean, these could be a side just like this.

But, since these are “loaded”, sprinkle the cheese and bacon bits over top.

And back into the air fryer for a minute for the cheese to melt completely.
