Why It Works
The air fryer circulates hot air around the food, which helps to cook it evenly and quickly.
The olive oil helps to coat the potatoes and prevent them from sticking to the air fryer basket.
The herbs and spices add flavor to the potatoes.
The cheddar cheese adds a cheesy, gooey flavor to the chips.
