Serving Ideas
Serve these air fryer Mexican potatoes with your favorite meats, like grilled, air fried or roasted steak, salmon or chicken. They also are great for a hearty side with burritos, taquitos, tacos, enchiladas… Basically any of your favorite Tex-Mex main dishes! They are delish with flavorful sauces and dips. Try the potatoes as a snack or appetizer with guacamole, lime crema, chipotle mayo, sour cream, salsa or pico de gallo for dipping. And I love the air fried potatoes for breakfast! Pair with an omelette or scrambled eggs, breakfast sausages or ground beef, and a side of fresh fruit.
Storage, Freezing & Reheating
To store leftovers: Cool the potatoes and store in a sealed container. They will keep well for up 5 days in the refrigerator. To reheat from the fridge: Pop them in the air fryer at 380F for 8-10 minutes or until they are warm through and crisp from out. Freezing: I haven’t yet, but, you can certainly try! Transfer the cooled potatoes to a freezer-safe container or ziplock bag. Store in the freezer for up to 4 months. To reheat from frozen: You can reheat frozen in air fryer at 380F for few minutes until crisp.
