This cheesy potato casserole in the air fryer is super delicious. I didn’t know what to prepare for dinner and I had some potatoes and only 1 egg… too little to make a potato omelet that I like a lot, so I opened the fridge and found some slices of cooked ham and some crescenza cheese… and that’s how I ended up with this potato casserole. I cooked the potatoes as if I were making the classic potato omelet and combined them with what I had available… really excellent result!
I often use potatoes as they can be prepared in many ways and are delicious! They can be used as a simple and tasty side dish with Sandy Potatoes in Air Fryer or to prepare something fancy like these Potato Cakes in Air Fryer

Steps
How to prepare the potato casserole in the air fryer
After washing and peeling the potatoes, rinse them, dry them, and season them in a bowl with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and pepper, adding salt only at the end of cooking.
Transfer them to the grid of your air fryer and cook them at 390°F for 20 minutes, shaking the basket occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Once ready, add a bit of salt and let them cool.
While the potatoes are cooling, mix in a bowl the crescenza cheese, egg, Parmesan, diced string cheese, and chopped cooked ham, and add the cooled potatoes.
Transfer the mixture to the baking dish and place it on the air fryer grid or the shelf if you have an oven-style fryer.
Cook the casserole at 355°F for 15 minutes or until a golden crust forms on the surface.
Here is the super cheesy casserole ready!
Tips for storing the potato casserole
The Air Fryer Potato Casserole can be stored in the refrigerator for a couple of days, covered with plastic wrap or in an airtight container. You can substitute the cheese with whatever you have in the fridge or with your preferred choice.
