Instructions
- *Note: You can make this recipe with any Instant Pot or Pressure Cooker.Crisp Bacon: You can crisp bacon with Instant Pot’s Saute Mode, Oven, or "Air Fryer" function of Instant Pot Duo Crisp. Option 1 - Duo Crisp Method - install the broiling tray on Air Fryer Basket. Layer 6 slices of bacon on the tray. Place 1 cup cold water and air fryer basket in Instant Pot Duo Crisp. Place the air fryer lid on Instant Pot. Press "Air Fry" button, set the temperature to 400°F and cooking time to 10 minutes. Option 2 - Oven Method: Place bacon on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place it on the middle rack of a preheated 400°F oven. Bake bacon until crispy and golden-brown. Set a timer for roughly 18 - 20 minutes.Option 3 - Instant Pot Saute Method: Layer bacon slices in the inner pot. Press "Saute" button and adjust to "Saute Less". It takes roughly 10 - 12 minutes to crisp the bacon slices.Place crisped bacon on a paper towel to absorb any excess fat, then cut them into bacon bits.
- Preparation: While the bacon is crisping, prepare the remaining ingredients. Scrub potatoes under running water, and poke holes throughout the potatoes with a fork.
- Pressure Cook Potatoes: Clean and dry Instant Pot's inner pot. Add 1 cup (250ml) cold water, and a trivet or air fryer basket in Instant Pot. Place 4 potatoes on the trivet. Close lid, turn Venting Knob to Sealing position. Pressure Cook at High Pressure for 34 minutes + 10 minutes Natural Release. Open the lid carefully.
- Cut Potatoes: Allow potatoes to cool to the touch. Use a paring knife to remove the top part of potatoes (see below photo). Use a small spoon to scoop out the inner flesh (leave about ¼ inch of potato flesh attached to the skin), then place them in a large mixing bowl.
- Make Mashed Potato Filling: Add ¼ cup (56g) unsalted butter to the scooped potatoes, then mash with a potato masher. With a silicone spatula, mix in ½ cup (125ml) sour cream. *Pro Tip: Reserve about 2 tbsp cheese for later. Mix in grated mozzarella cheese, grated smoked cheddar cheese, finely sliced green onions, and bacon bits. Pour in ¼ cup (63ml) whole milk, then mix everything up with a spatula. Give it a taste and season with salt & black pepper (for reference, we added 2 - 2.5 pinches of salt). With a spoon, fill the hollowed potato shells with the yummy loaded mashed potato. Sprinkle the grated cheese on top.
- Twice Baked Potatoes: Option 1 - Twice Bake with Duo Crisp: Place the stuffed potatoes back in Instant Pot. Place the air fryer lid on Instant Pot Duo Crisp. Press "Air Fry" button, set the temperature to 400°F and cooking time to 8 minutes. Option 2 - Twice Bake with Oven: Place the stuffed potatoes on the top rack of the oven, then use the "Broil" function for a few minutes.Serve immediately & enjoy~

Notes
- 1) Use Freshly Grated Cheese: If possible, use freshly grated cheese because they taste better and has fewer additives than pre-shredded cheese.
- 2) Crisp Bacon in Duo Crisp: It takes roughly 8 - 10 minutes + preheat time to crisp the bacon. You can open the lid to check the progress.
- 3) Adjust Cooking Time Due to Potatoes’ Size: Since our potatoes are quite large (8.5" circumference), it'll take High Pressure for 34 minutes + 10 minutes Natural Release to properly cook the potatoes. You may need to adjust the cooking time accordingly depending on the size of your potatoes.
- 4) Twice Bake with Duo Crisp: It takes roughly 6 - 8 minutes + preheat time. You can open the lid to check the progress on the Air Fryer Stuffing.
