Ingredients:
- 2 large potatoes, peeled and grated
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1/4 cup cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooking spray or oil for the air fryer basket
Instructions:
- Prepare the Potatoes:
- Start by peeling the potatoes and grating them using a box grater or a food processor. Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out any excess moisture.
- Mix Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, crumbled bacon, flour, beaten egg, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together until well combined.
- Form Fritters:
- Take about 2 tablespoons of the mixture and shape it into a small patty or fritter. Repeat with the remaining mixture, forming about 8-10 fritters depending on size.
- Air Fry:
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- Lightly grease the air fryer basket with cooking spray or oil.
- Place the potato fritters in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not touching each other.
- Cook:
- Air fry the fritters for 10-12 minutes, flipping them halfway through cooking, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- Serve:
- Once cooked, remove the potato fritters from the air fryer and let them cool slightly on a wire rack.
- Serve warm as a delicious snack or appetizer. Optionally, you can serve them with sour cream, additional shredded cheese, or your favorite dipping sauce.
Enjoy your loaded air fryer potato fritters!
