Ingredients
- 4 large cooked potatoes cooled
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper
- ½ cup grated cheddar cheese 50 grams
Optional toppings
- 8 teaspoons sour cream
- green onions
Instructions
- Slice the cooked potatoes in half horizontally. Scoop out the insides (save the cooked potato for another recipe), leaving about a ¼-inch border of potato around the skins.
- Brush or rub the insides and outsides of the potato skins with the oil, then sprinkle with the salt and pepper.
- Place them into the air fryer basket, cut side up. Air Fry them at 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for 5 minutes until the edges start to get crispy. You may need to cook them in batches.
- Fill the potato skins with the cheese and air fry for a further 5-7 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
- Serve topped with the sour cream and green onions.

Notes
- The potato must be fully cooled before turning it into an air fryer potato skin. This helps ensure it cooks properly and doesn’t burn.
- Always use tongs when transferring potato skins in and out of the air fryer as they become very hot when cooked.
- You’ll need to air fry the potato skins in a single layer in the air fryer basket. If there is not enough room, cook in batches until complete.
