1tspsalt
1/2tsppepper
1ccheeseshredded, optional
Instructions
After peeling and shredding the potatoes, let them soak in cold water for 20 minutes. (This will help removed the starch from the potatoes which will make them get crispy when cooking and not mushy.)
Drain potatoes and remove as much water as possible. Lay on a stack of paper towels and squeeze to remove moisture. Combine potatoes, onions, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
Mix well. Add mixture to your greased air fryer basket. Air fry at 400ºF for 20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes.
Top with shredded cheese if you choose and air fry for 2-3 minutes until it melts. Alternatively you can transfer to a plate and melt cheese in the microwave.
