As a home cook passionate about air fryer innovations, I developed this potato gratin recipe to showcase its versatility beyond fries. Creamy, comforting, and family-approved on the first try, it's perfect for quick weeknight dinners. While it works in the oven too, the air fryer delivers crisp results faster.

Potatoes are nutritious and versatile staples. This gratin elevates them with a rich, cheesy sauce—earning rave reviews from my family right away. Trust me, it's a game-changer for air fryer enthusiasts.
Mix the garlic herb cheese, Philadelphia, and cooking cream until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
Preheat your air fryer to 190-200°C.
Grease the dish with butter or oil. Layer starting with sauce, then potato slices; repeat until ending with potatoes topped with sauce. Finish with grated cheese.
Place in the preheated air fryer for 20-25 minutes. Check midway—cover with foil if browning too quickly or reduce heat slightly, as models vary.
Pair with steamed cauliflower, broccoli, meat, or fish for a balanced meal. Got leftover cauliflower? Try air fryer cauliflower nuggets the next day!
