Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Fold in the shredded cheese until evenly distributed.
- Using your hands, shape the potato mixture into small, round balls (about 1 inch in diameter).
- Lightly coat the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Place the potato pops in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they are not touching.
- Cook for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, shaking the basket halfway through for even cooking.
- Once cooked, remove the potato pops and transfer them to a serving platter.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
Chef’s Tips
- For a creamier texture, add a splash of milk or cream to the mashed potatoes before mixing.
- Experiment with different cheeses for varied flavor profiles, such as mozzarella or pepper jack.
- Ensure your air fryer is preheated for best results; this helps achieve maximum crispiness.
