Ingredients
- 4 small russet potatoes, baked and cooled
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon coarse salt
- 1/2 cup Colby Jack cheese, shredded and divided
- 2 tablespoons bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1/4 cup sour cream, divided

Instructions
- Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise. Use a small spoon to carefully remove the flesh from the inside, leaving a 1⁄4-inch “rim”.
- Brush the potatoes with olive oil, then season with salt.
- Place the potatoes into the air fryer basket with the cut side up.
- Cook in the air fryer at 375° Fahrenheit for 6 minutes or until golden and soft.
- Open the basket and sprinkle the cheese evenly inside each potato skin. Continue to cook for 6 more minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
- Remove the skins from the basket and fill with sour cream, bacon, and sliced green onions.
- Serve warm as the perfect side dish, appetizer, or game-day food!
