Air Fryer Amy's Country Cheddar Bowl

Air Fryer Amy's Country Cheddar Bowl

Why You’ll Love It

Amy’s Country Cheddar Bowl is a comforting mix of organic potatoes, cheddar cheese, and vegetables in a creamy sauce. While it’s traditionally made in the microwave or oven, the air fryer gives you that irresistible oven-baked finish—golden potatoes, melty cheese, and perfectly warmed veggies in one quick cook. It’s cozy, fast, and full of flavor.

Ingredients

• 1 Amy’s Country Cheddar Bowl (frozen; do not thaw)

• Optional: Small piece of foil (to prevent cheese bubbling over)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat the Air Fryer

Set your air fryer to 360°F and let it preheat for 3 minutes.

Prepare the Bowl

• Remove the outer box and leave the meal in its paper bowl.

• Cover the bowl loosely with foil to help prevent over-browning or splattering.

Air Fry

• Place the covered bowl in the air fryer basket.

• Cook at 360°F for 26–30 minutes.

• At the 20-minute mark, carefully remove the foil and continue cooking uncovered for the remaining 6–10 minutes, allowing the top to get golden and bubbly.

Check for Doneness

The potatoes should be hot and tender, the cheese fully melted, and the internal temperature should reach at least 165°F. If needed, add 2–3 extra minutes.

Pro Tips

• If your air fryer basket is small or sloped, place the bowl on a small air fryer rack or trivet to keep it stable.

• For extra crisp edges, cook uncovered for the last 10 minutes instead of 6.

• Be cautious when removing the bowl—it will be hot! Use tongs or a spatula.

Serving Ideas

• Top with:

  • Fresh cracked black pepper

  • A sprinkle of chopped chives or green onions

  • A drizzle of hot sauce for a kick

• Serve with:

  • A side salad

  • Warm roll or toast

  • Steamed green beans or broccoli

Storage & Reheating

Storage

Reheating

• Air Fryer: 350°F for 8–10 minutes, covered loosely with foil

• Microwave: Heat on high for 1.5–2 minutes, stirring halfway through

FAQs

Can I cook it without foil?

Yes, but be prepared for some cheese bubbling over. Foil helps control mess and keep moisture in during the first part of cooking.

Can I cook it straight from frozen?

Yes, this recipe is designed for frozen-to-air-fryer cooking.

Can I transfer the contents to a different bowl before cooking?

Yes—if your air fryer isn’t large enough or you prefer a crisper finish, transfer the contents to an oven-safe ramekin or mini baking dish.
