Ingredients:

  • 1 Stouffer’s Cheddar Potato Bake (single-serve size)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Carefully remove the frozen potato bake from the aluminum tray and place it directly in your air fryer basket.
  3. Cook for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket occasionally, until the internal temperature of the potatoes reaches 160°F (71°C) and the top is golden brown and crispy.
  4. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • For a crispier topping, preheat your air fryer for a few minutes before placing the potato bake inside.
  • If your air fryer basket is small, you might need to cut the potato bake in half for even cooking.
  • You can add a sprinkle of shredded cheese on top of the potato bake in the last few minutes of cooking for an extra cheesy flavor.

FAQs:

  • Can I cook a larger Stouffer’s Cheddar Potato Bake in the air fryer?

It’s not recommended. The larger size might not cook evenly in the air fryer. However, you can try breaking it up into smaller portions to fit in a single layer within the basket.

  • Is the air-fried version healthier than the oven-baked version?

Yes, air frying generally uses less oil compared to traditional oven baking, resulting in a lower-calorie dish.

  • Can I reheat leftover air-fried Stouffer’s Cheddar Potato Bake?

Absolutely! Reheat leftovers in your air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes until warmed through.
