How to Air Fry Frozen Potstickers

Place frozen potstickers flat-side down in the basket. Spray lightly with oil. Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 10–12 minutes, flipping at the halfway mark. The wrappers should be golden-brown and crispy, and the filling steaming hot.

For a more authentic pan-fried texture with a crispier bottom, place potstickers in an air fryer-safe pan, add 1 tablespoon water per 6 potstickers, cover with foil, and cook at 375°F for 8 minutes. Remove foil and cook 4 more minutes to crisp the bottom.

Verify the filling reaches 165°F (74°C) for meat-filled potstickers. The outside colors quickly in an air fryer — the interior may need more time than the exterior suggests.

Serve with a mixture of soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and chili oil. Ginger-scallion sauce is another excellent option. Potstickers are also great in a simple broth as a dumpling soup.
