FAQ
Can meatball skewers with potatoes be cooked in an air fryer?
Yes, they can be cooked in an air fryer for 15 minutes at 350°F without preheating. An alternative to oven or fryer cooking could be the electric grill, while I would not recommend pan cooking because the potatoes would not cook properly.
Can other vegetables be added?
Absolutely! You can add peppers, onions, zucchini, and even fruits like pineapple for something more alternative and less classic.
