I love that this recipe uses an air fryer. It's so much healthier than frying them in oil.

I love papas rellenas, but I've never tried making them in the air fryer before. They were just as good as the ones I've had from restaurants.

These were easy to make and turned out great! I used a food processor to chop the potatoes and it made the process much faster.
