# Steps to Cook:

05 - Layer air fried potatoes on serving plates. Top with seasoned beef, followed by shredded cheese. Add pico de gallo, guacamole, and sour cream as desired. Serve immediately.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - Leftovers should be stored without toppings in an airtight container, refrigerated for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
02 - Oven method: Roast seasoned diced potatoes at 200°C for 20 minutes, stir, then roast for an additional 15 minutes or until golden and tender.
