Our cheesy scalloped potatoes are wonderful to serve 3-4 people. After numerous tests we’ve perfected this popular potato recipe in the air fryer. The secret is cooking the potatoes first then adding the cream mixture. This ensures that the potatoes are tender, creamy and cheesy. Do not use red potatoes! Use russet or gold potatoes or similar for a more the best texture.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 lb. (454 g) potatoes , washed and dried (about 3 medium potatoes)
- oil spray
- 3/4 cup (180 ml) heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) salt , or to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon (1.25 ml) garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon (1.25 ml) black pepper
- 1/2 cup (57 g) shredded cheddar cheese
INSTRUCTIONS
Peel and slice potatoes thin and spray oil evenly over the potatoes.
Spray the inside bottom and sides of the Pan with oil. Lay the potato slices in a neat stack with their edges aligned vertically into the prepared bucket pan. Fan the potatoes out if there is room after they are in the bucket pan. Place the the pan into the Air Fryer.
Air Fry at 360°F/180°C for an initial 18 minutes.
While potatoes are air frying make the cream mixture: combine heavy cream, salt, garlic powder and black pepper. Stir until well combined.
After the potatoes have air fried for the initial 18 minutes, pour the cream mixture over the potatoes. Spread cream over potatoes and gently press the potatoes down to help them settle into the cream.
Air Fry the potatoes again with the cream mixture at reduced temperature of 300°F/150°C for 15-18 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the potatoes. Air Fry at 300°F/150°C for additional 1-2 minutes or until cheese is melted. Allow potatoes to cool for 10 minutes before serving.
If your air fryer is preheated or if you are cooking multiple batches, you may need to reduce timing by a few minutes (unless preheating is called for in the recipe).
