Mexicaans patatje is a delightful twist on classic fries with a Mexican-inspired flavor. Air frying makes them perfectly crispy and the cheesy topping adds a creamy richness. It's a comforting snack or side dish that's easy to prepare!
Ingredients: 4 large potatoes, cut into fries. 2 tablespoons olive oil. 1 teaspoon chili powder. 1 teaspoon paprika. 1/2 teaspoon cumin. 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder. Salt and pepper to taste. 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese. 1/4 cup diced tomatoes. 1/4 cup diced red onion. 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro. 1/4 cup sour cream.
Instructions: Preheat your air fryer to 375F 190C. In a large bowl, toss the potato fries with olive oil, chili powder, paprika, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well coated. Place the seasoned fries in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they are not overcrowded. You may need to cook them in batches if your air fryer is small. Air fry the fries for 15-20 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy, shaking the basket or tossing them halfway through for even cooking. Remove the fries from the air fryer and immediately sprinkle them with shredded cheddar cheese while they are hot so it melts slightly. Top the cheesy fries with diced tomatoes, red onion, and fresh cilantro. Serve the Mexicaans patatje hot with a dollop of sour cream on the side. Enjoy your delicious and comforting Mexicaans patatje!
