Recipe of the day: Juicy Air fryer pork chops and crispy potato salad

These tasty Air Fryer recipes are quicker to prepare and cook than ordering takeaways on a Friday evening.

No one is ever in the mood to cook on a Friday evening, instead opting to get takeaways, which end up taking longer than usual to deliver. Instead of getting hangry while waiting for that unhealthy pizza, rather make juicy pork chops and a crispy potato salad in your Air Fryer.

Not only will this save you money, it is also healthier and will most likely be tastier than your burned pizza crust.
