Ingredients
- 5 potatoes
- to taste olive oil
- to taste salt
- to taste pepper
- to taste garlic powder
- to taste paprika
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 onion
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 8 oz tomato sauce
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 1 tbsp mustard
- 2 tbsp bbq sauce
- 1 1/2 cup shredded Colby Jack cheese
- to taste dried parsley
Instructions
- 1Preheat the air‑fryer to 400°F (392°F).
- 2Peel, wash, and cut the potatoes into ½‑inch cubes; place them in a large bowl.
- 3Drizzle the potatoes with olive oil, then season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Toss until evenly coated.
- 4Transfer the seasoned potatoes to the air‑fryer basket in a single layer and cook for 20–25 minutes, shaking or stirring the basket halfway through to ensure even browning.
- 5While the potatoes cook, heat a large skillet over medium‑high heat and add a splash of olive oil.
- 6Add the ground beef and chopped onion to the skillet; break up the meat and sauté until the beef is browned and the onion is translucent, about 5–7 minutes.
- 7Season the meat mixture with ½ tsp salt, ½ tsp pepper, 1 tsp onion powder, and 1 tsp paprika; stir to combine.
- 8Stir in the minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, tomato sauce, ketchup, mustard, and BBQ sauce; reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer gently for 5 minutes while the potatoes finish cooking.
- 9When the potatoes are crisp‑tender, add them directly to the skillet with the sloppy‑joe sauce; toss briefly to coat the potatoes evenly.
- 10Sprinkle the shredded Colby Jack cheese over the top, then place the skillet under a preheated broiler for 1–2 minutes, watching closely until the cheese melts and bubbles.
- 11Remove from the oven, garnish with dried parsley if desired, and serve hot.
