Stages of cooking
-
Place potatoes and salt in a medium saucepan and add water to cover by one inch. Place pot over high heat and bring to a boil. Cook until just tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Potatoes should not be soft. Drain and set aside until cool enough to handle.
-
Slice potatoes in half across the center and scoop out the center flesh carefully, leaving a 1/8 of an inch border of flesh. Combine sausage and queso in a medium bowl and stir until creamy.
-
Place about 1 teaspoon chorizo mixture in one potato half and place 1 to 2 teaspoons of shredded cheese in the corresponding potato half. Press the two halves together allowing the starch from the potato to hold together as best as possible. Coat each potato in egg, allowing excess todrip, and lightly coat in breadcrumbs, taking care not to allow the potatohalves to separate.
-
Preheat an airfryer to to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray potatoes lightly with oil or cooking spray.
-
Air fry in batches if necessary until golden and crispy, 8 to 10 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
