Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
  2. Wash and dice the russet potatoes into bite-sized pieces. In a large bowl, coat with oil and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Toss well.
  3. Place the seasoned potatoes in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 18–20 minutes, shaking the basket 2-3 times for even cooking.
  4. While the potatoes cook, heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add ground beef. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess grease.
  5. Add taco seasoning and water to the browned beef. Stir and simmer for 3-5 minutes until thickened.
  6. Once potatoes are cooked, layer them on a serving dish and spoon the seasoned beef over the top.
  7. Sprinkle Mexican shredded cheese over the beef while it's still hot to melt the cheese.
  8. Add your favorite toppings such as pico de gallo and guacamole before serving.
