Equipment

  • Air-fryer
  • Baking sheet
  • Spoon (for scooping)
  • Basting brush
  • Mixing bowl
  • Tongs

Ingredients
  

  • 4 medium russet potatoes
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 6 strips bacon cooked and crumbled
  • ¼ cup finely chopped green onions
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • Sour cream for serving

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your air fryer to 400°F.
  • Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Pierce each potato a few times with a fork. Arrange the potatoes on a baking sheet and bake at 400°F for 45 minutes until tender.
  • Once cool enough to handle, cut each potato in half lengthwise. Scoop out the insides, leaving about ¼ inch of potato around the skin. (Save the scooped-out potato for another use.)
  • Brush the potato skins with melted butter and season with salt and pepper.
  • Place the potato skins in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Air fry at 400°F for 10 minutes until they start to crisp up.
  • Remove the skins from the air fryer, and fill each with a sprinkle of cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon.
  • Return the potato skins to the air fryer and cook for an additional 5 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Once cooked, remove the skins from the air fryer and top with chopped green onions.
  • Serve immediately with a dollop of sour cream.

Notes

  • For an extra crispy result, flip the potato skins halfway through the initial air frying.
  • Store any leftover potato skins in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • Reheat potato skins in the air fryer at 350°F for 3-4 minutes to regain crispiness before serving.
