Beef Sliders
A real-deal beef slider isn't just a tiny hamburger, which is what you get at the vast majority of restaurants. To be authentic, it has to be steamed over a bed of onions, bread, and all. You can change up the toppings, but I love them best with the traditional pickles and onions.

Crispy potatoes and tender apples complement a crunchy slaw tossed in a sweet, creamy dressing. While the potatoes and apples are in the air fryer, shred your cabbage and whisk up the dressing.
