Instructions

  • Step 1

    Toss the halved potatoes with olive oil, salt, chili powder, and paprika until well coated.

  • Step 2

    Place in a single layer in the bottom of an Air Fryer and cook for 15 minutes at 400 °F, tossing once halfway through.

  • Step 3

    When the potatoes are finished cooking, quickly remove the base of the Air Fryer and sprinkle on the cheese. Return back to the Air Fryer and let warm for 1 to 2 minutes so the cheese just melts.

  • Step 4

    Transfer the cheesy, crispy potato halves to a large serving bowl or platter and sprinkle with cooked tempeh bacon. Drizzle with salsa, sour cream and fresh chives. Serve immediately!
