Instant Pot and Air Fryer Lid Dry Rub Pork Ribs

Instant Pot Air Fryer Lid Potatoes

March 7, 2020 I often make roasted potatoes with olive oil, rosemary, and salt. When I serve them, I am always asked for the the recipe. I’ve made these potatoes in the oven and on the grill. There is nothing like a cast iron skillet to make these beautiful crispy potato bites. They do use […]
