Purple Cookie BarsEverything gets purple in my kitchen after a good harvest of this sweet root crop called ube. Today, I'm putting a purple treat to my son's lunch box.

Crispy Cheesy Potato on plate with sour cream on top

Air Fryer Crispy Cheesy PotatoThis is a take on a baked potato, made in an air fryer. Giving the top of the potato very thin slits and brushing it with butter causes the potato edges to crisp up nicely. This way, you have a soft baked potato bottom, and crispy french-fry-like texture on top. Sprinkling shredded cheese between the ridges makes it creamy, too. So yummy!
