Steps

1. 1

   Peel and wash the potatoes, then cut them into cubes.

2. 2

   Place the potato cubes in a bowl. Toss them with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. The source does not specify exact amounts for these potato seasonings.

3. 3

   Cook the seasoned potatoes in an air fryer at 400°F for approximately 20–25 minutes, shaking the basket at least a couple of times during cooking.

4. 4

   While the potatoes cook, brown the ground beef and chopped onion in a skillet. Add the measured salt, pepper, onion powder, and paprika as the beef cooks.

5. 5

   Add the minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, tomato sauce, ketchup, mustard, and barbecue sauce to the skillet.

6. 6

   Let the sloppy Joe mixture simmer over low heat until the potatoes are ready and the mixture has thickened.

7. 7

   Add the crispy potatoes to the skillet with the sloppy Joe mixture and stir briefly to combine.

8. 8

   Sprinkle the shredded Colby Jack cheese evenly over the top. Place the skillet in the oven under the broiler for a couple of minutes, just until the cheese melts.

9. 9

   Sprinkle dried parsley over the melted cheese and serve.

Notes

Exact amounts for the olive oil and potato seasonings were not provided. The broiler temperature and skillet-to-oven equipment details were not specified; monitor closely while broiling so the cheese melts without burning.
