Ingredients
- 6 baked potatoes medium size (See note 1)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 8 lices cooked bacon finely chopped
- 3 ounces shredded cheddar cheese
- 6 ounces sour cream
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped chives
Instructions
- Cut each baked potato in half and use a spoon or melon baller to gently scoop out the inside of the potatoes. Leave about ¼ inch thick border of potato around the edges and on the bottom. Make sure not to go all the way through the potato.
- Brush the outside of each potato with olive oil and then sprinkle salt over the outside and inside of each potato.
- Preheat air fryer to 400 degrees F.
- Place potato skins in basket with the skin side down. Leave a small amount of space between potato skins. Depending on the size of the basket you may need to work in batches. Cook for 10 minutes.
- Open basket and add 1/4 ounce of cheddar cheese and 1 slice of chopped bacon to each potato skin. Continue to cook for 5 more minutes or until the cheese is fully melted.
- Remove from basket and top with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of chives on each.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- Note 1: To make potato skins you have to start with a baked or boiled potato so that the inside is cooked and can be easily scooped out. You have 4 options for cooking the potatoes.
- You can bake the potatoes using our air fryer instructions or Instant Pot instructions.
- You can microwave the potatoes for 5 to 8 minutes in the microwave. Prior to cooking them, make sure to prick them all over with a fork to allow the steam to release as they cook. They are ready when you can easily insert a fork into the potatoes.
- Bake the potatoes in the oven. Preheat oven to 450 degree F. Prick potatoes all over with a fork then place on a baking sheet in the oven and bake for 45 minutes or until tender in the center.
- You can parboil the potatoes. To do this, add the potatoes to boiling water and cook for 5 to 8 minutes or until a fork easily goes into the potato.
