Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Toss the diced potatoes with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika in a bowl, ensuring every piece is coated.

Cooking the Potatoes

  • Preheat your air fryer to 400°F. Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer and air fry for about 20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.

Cooking the Beef Mixture

  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and chopped onion, cooking until the meat is browned and the onion is softened, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Season the beef with salt, black pepper, onion powder, and paprika. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  • Stir in Worcestershire sauce, tomato sauce, ketchup, mustard, and BBQ sauce. Mix well and let simmer for about 5 minutes until it thickens slightly.

Combining Ingredients

  • Gently fold in the crispy potatoes until everything is mixed well.
  • Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top and place the skillet under the broiler for about 2 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Serving

  • Serve hot directly from the skillet.

Notes

For best results, remember to keep an eye on the cheese under the broiler to avoid burning. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat on the stovetop or microwave.
