5. Instructions

   Prepare the potatoes

   1. Wash and dry potatoes with paper towel. Slice potatoes into ¼ inch or ½ inch rounds.

   3. Air fryer instructions

      • Place coated potato slices in the air fryer basket or rack then air fry at 400°F / 200°C for 15 to 18 mins or until potatoes are soft in the middle with browned and crispy edges.

      Load it up with toppings

      • When potatoes are fully costed and crispy. Pull out air fryer basket and let it cool for 30 secs so you don’t get burned while adding the toppings.
      • Top potatoes with cheese and bacon. Push basket back into air fryer base and melt the cheese at 400°F / 200°C for a minute.
      • Transfer loaded potatoes to a plate then add dollops of sour cream on each round before topping off with scallions or chives. Serve immediately.

      • Oven instructions

        • Preheat oven to 400°F / 200°C / Gas mark 6
        • Place coated potatoes on a baking sheet and bake in preheated oven for 25 to 30 mins or until fully cooked.
        • Gently pull out baking sheet, top the potato rounds with cheese and bacon. Return the baking sheet to the oven and broil till cheese melts.
        • Bring out from the oven and add the other toppings and serve.
