Pro Tips for Success:

Use a mandolin for even potato slices. This helps them cook evenly and get that perfect crispy edge.
Try different cheeses! Monterey Jack, pepper jack, or even mozzarella work great depending on your flavor mood.
Soak potato slices in cold water for 15–30 minutes before air frying to make them extra crispy (just dry them well first!).
Add a kick of spice by sprinkling on a little smoked paprika or red pepper flakes before cooking.
Make it a topping bar! Let guests add sour cream, ranch, or jalapeños to make it their own.
Double the batch and keep the first round warm in a low oven so you have plenty for a hungry crowd.
