Make sure to give the potatoes at least 30 minutes to soak for the best possible outcome.
When cooking the cheese sauce, make sure to keep it on low and let the cheese melt slowly. If it is rushed, the cheese will burn to the bottom of the pan. Add additional milk to the sauce if it becomes too thick.
To store: add the potatoes and cheese sauce in separate covered containers. Reheat the potatoes in the air fryer and the sauce in the microwave.
