Place the seasoned potatoes in an air fryer and cook at 400°F for approximately 25 minutes, shaking the basket periodically for even crisping.

04 -
Add minced garlic, diced tomatoes with green chiles, and chili beans to the skillet. Stir to combine and simmer for 5 minutes to meld flavors.
05 -
Add the crispy potatoes to the skillet mixture and stir gently to combine. Evenly sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top.

Transfer the skillet to a preheated oven at 400°F and bake for a few minutes until the cheese has completely melted.

Remove from oven and top with chopped green onions. Optionally, serve with sour cream and jalapeños.
# Extra Suggestions:

If an air fryer is unavailable, bake the potatoes on a sheet pan in an oven at 400°F for 25-30 minutes, turning occasionally for even crispness.
