FAQs:
Can I cook multiple pot pies at once? It depends on the size of your air fryer. If your air fryer is large enough to fit the pot pies without them touching, you can cook them in batches. However, for even cooking, it’s best to cook them one at a time.
Do I have to thaw the pot pie before cooking? No, the beauty of the air fryer is that you can cook frozen food directly.
How can I tell if the pot pie is done? The crust should be golden brown and flaky. You can also insert a thermometer into the center of the filling; it should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
What can I serve with my air fryer pot pie? A simple side salad, roasted vegetables, or mashed potatoes would all be delicious accompaniments.
