Equipment

  • 1 Large Skillet
  • 1 Air Fryer
  • 1 Oven

Ingredients

  • 5 small/medium sized Russet potatoes
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika (for potatoes)
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 chopped onion
  • 1/2 tsp each of salt and pepper
  • 1 tsp each of onion powder and paprika
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 1-2 tbsp Worcestershire
  • 1 (8 oz) can of tomato sauce
  • 1/4 cup of ketchup
  • 1 tbsp of mustard
  • 2 tbsp of bbq sauce
  • 1 cup Shredded cheddar or Colby Jack cheese
  • Dried parsley

Instructions

  • Peel, wash potatoes, and cut them up into cubes.
  • Toss with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika (I don’t use exact measurements for this part).
  • Cook the potatoes in the air fryer at 400 degrees F for about 20-25 minutes shaking them around at least a couple of times while they cook.
  • Once the potatoes are cooking, brown the ground beef and onion in a skillet and add all seasonings.
  • Add minced garlic, Worcestershire, tomato sauce, ketchup, mustard, and bbq sauce.
  • Let simmer on low until the potatoes are ready.
  • Add crispy potatoes to the skillet with the sloppy Joe mix. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top and put in the oven under broil just to melt the cheese. Top with dried parsley.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

  • You can peel the potatoes or leave the peels on if you like that better.
  • I prefer to make my own sauce for the Sloppy Joe's but if you prefer the canned stuff that will work too!
  • I like shredding blocks of cheddar or Colby Jack cheese for a creamier consistency.
  • Fresh minced garlic or the jarred minced garlic will work for this recipe.
  • If you don't have an air fryer you can cook the potatoes in the oven at 400 degrees F for about 25-35 minutes or until they are cooked how you like them. I would also stir/flip the potatoes around about half way through cooking to make sure they cook evenly.
