Air Fryer Cheesy Potatoes

Crispy air fryer potatoes smothered in melty cheese and a creamy cheese sauce — loaded-fries-meets-potato-wedges comfort food. The air fryer crisps the potatoes first, then everything turns gooey and golden.
They're an irresistible side or shareable snack. Add bacon, jalapeños or green onion to take them over the top.
