Looking for Asian-inspired flavor but only have frozen options? Frozen potstickers in the air fryer are quick and easy to make!
Also known as dumplings, these tasty little morsels create minimal mess when done in the air fryer. All you need is just a little bit of oil and your favorite brand of frozen potstickers!
Recipe Tips
- Don’t use extra virgin olive oil for this recipe because of its distinct flavor – it wouldn’t go well with the potstickers.
- If you want to avoid the potstickers having a “dry spot” on the outside (similar to making air fryer pierogies), evenly coat them in oil before air frying.
- Don’t overcrowd the air fryer and leave some space between the dumplings so they can cook and crisp evenly.
- The cooking time can vary depending on your air fryer and the size of the dumplings. Be sure that any with meat filling – like chicken or pork – are cooked through (to the temperature indicated on the packaging).

Otherwise, you can skip down to the bottom of the post to check out the detailed recipe card.
First, preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Meanwhile, place the frozen dumplings/potstickers into a bowl. Drizzle the oil on top and toss them until well coated.
Alternatively, you can spray the dumplings with a bit of oil spray.
Then place the potstickers into the air fryer in one layer. The dumplings shouldn’t be touching – this will help them cook evenly.
Cook the dumplings for approximately 14 minutes total, flipping them over about halfway through. Keep in mind cook time can vary by air fryer and the potsticker brand you use.
You can also air fry the dumplings slightly longer or shorter depending on your desired level of crispiness.
Remove the dumplings from the air fryer and serve with dipping sauce.
Storage Tips
If you have any leftovers, they can be stored in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 2 to 3 days. Keep in mind that they will likely lose their crispiness and get a bit soggy over time.
To reheat the potstickers, you can choose to pan-fry them in a bit of oil or pop them back in the air fryer until heated through! Of course, you could also just reheat them in the microwave.
