This cheesy potato casserole in the air fryer is super tasty. I didn’t know what to make for dinner and I had some potatoes and just 1 egg… too little to make a potato omelet which I love so much, then 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 preparing the classic omelet and combined them with what I had available… really excellent result!
I often use potatoes because you can make so many dishes with them, and let’s face it, they are a guarantee! They can be used as a simple and tasty side dish with Crunchy Air Fryer Potatoes or to prepare something delicious like these Air Fryer Potato Cakes

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 EVO oil and pepper; add the salt only at the end of cooking.
Transfer them to the grill of your air fryer and cook at 392°F for 20 minutes, shaking the basket occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Once ready, add some salt and let them cool slightly.
While waiting for the potatoes to cool, mix in a bowl the crescenza, egg, Parmesan, string cheese cut into cubes and the cooked ham cut into pieces, and add the now-cooled potatoes.
Transfer the mixture into the baking pan and place it on the grill of your air fryer or on the shelf if you have an oven-type air fryer.
Cook the casserole at 356°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 replace the cheese with what you have in the fridge or with the one you prefer.
