Spicy fries with vegetables salsa and melted cheese

Step 1 :
Start by preheating your air fryer to 380°F (190°C).

Meanwhile, in a large bowl, mix the potato wedges, olive oil, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, and salt until the potatoes are well coated.

Once the air fryer is heated, transfer the potatoes into the basket in a single layer and cook for about 20 minutes. Make sure to rotate the potatoes halfway for even crisping.

While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the vegetable salsa. In a large bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, diced bell pepper, diced red onion, finely chopped jalapeño, lime juice, chopped cilantro and salt.

Stir all the ingredients together and leave it in the refrigerator to chill and meld the flavors.

Once your fries are done, check for doneness. They should have a nice crispy outer edge and be hot and soft inside.

Transfer the fries to a heat-proof dish and top evenly with the shredded cheddar cheese.

Turn on your oven’s broiler. Carefully move the dish under the broiler and broil until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 2-3 minutes. Watch carefully to prevent burning.

Step 2 : Serve this tantalizing dish hot, with optional garnishes such as extra cilantro or a drizzle of creamy dressing if desired.

Enjoy this delightful combination of spicy potatoes, tangy and refreshing salsa, with gooey melted cheese as an indulgent dinner.
