Air Fryer Potato Skins

🧂 Ingredients

• 6 medium russet potatoes

  (washed and baked)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

  (optional, extra virgin)
• 6 oz cheddar cheese

  (grated)
• 3 strips bacon

  (cooked and crumbled or sliced)
• ½ cup sour cream
• 1 green onion

  (finely sliced, or chives)

Instructions

• 1 Baking Your Potatoes Can Be Done A Day In Advance: After cleaning your potatoes,
  pierce each one with a fork. Season the prepared potatoes with a coating of
  olive oil and freshly ground salt and pepper.
• 2 Cook your washed, scrubbed and seasoned potatoes in the air fryer according to
  manufacturer instructions or at 400 degrees F (204 degrees C) for roughly 30-40
  minutes. Your cook time will vary based on your air fryer type, and the size of
  your potatoes.
• 3 Potatoes can also be oven baked at 400 degrees F (204 degrees C) for 45-60
  minutes. Potatoes can be placed directly on the oven rack, wrapped in foil, or
  placed on a sheet of aluminum foil on your oven rack.
• 4 Your potatoes are cooked when an inserted knife or fork easily goes into the
  potatoes. Remove from the air fryer or oven and allow the potatoes to cool
  before slicing.
• 5 Cut cooled potatoes in half lengthwise and use a spoon to core out the center of
  each halved potato. Leave about 1-4 inch of potato flesh on the potato skins.
• 6 Lightly brush olive oil onto the potato flesh and skins of each of the halved,
  cored potato skins. Place your potato skins open side up in an even layer of
  your air fryer basket or rack.
• 7 Fry the potato skins in your preheated air fryer at 400 degrees F (204 degrees
  C) for 10 minutes. Remove from the air fryer and top each potato skin with
  cheddar cheese and bacon crumbles, then return to the air fryer and cook for an
  additional 2-3 minutes or until the cheese is completely melted.
• 8 Remove potato skins from the air fryer, top each with sour cream and sliced
  green onion or chives and serve immediately.
