Air-Fryer BBQ Pulled Pork Loaded Fries preparation stage

You’ll Need

500g cooked pulled pork
500g frozen thick-cut fries
100g grated mature cheddar
50g grated mozzarella
1 tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp garlic powder
4 tbsp smoky BBQ sauce
1 tbsp crispy fried onions
To Finish
Spring onions, sliced
Extra BBQ sauce
Optional but Dangerous
Jalapeños
Garlic mayo
Bacon bits
Chilli flakes

Method

1 - Preheat your air fryer to 200°C. 2 - Cook the fries according to packet instructions, usually 16–20 minutes, shaking halfway through, until deeply golden and crisp. 3 - While the fries cook, place the pulled pork into a bowl. 4 - Add the smoked paprika, garlic powder, and 2 tablespoons of the BBQ sauce. 5 - Mix thoroughly until the pork is fully coated. 6 - Once the fries are crisp, transfer them into a foil tray or heatproof dish. 7 - Scatter the pulled pork evenly over the fries. 8 - Sprinkle over the cheddar and mozzarella until everything looks slightly irresponsible. 9 - Drizzle over the remaining BBQ sauce. 10 - Return the tray to the air fryer at 180°C for 4–5 minutes until the cheese is melted, bubbling, and lightly golden around the edges. 11 - Finish with crispy onions, spring onions, and any dangerous extras you're using. Serve immediately while the cheese is still stretching and the fries are still fighting back underneath.

Lad Tip: The trick is getting the fries properly crispy before anything goes on top. Loaded fries should still have crunch underneath all the chaos. If the fries go soft before serving, you've built the tray too early and surrendered valuable crunch territory.
