Ingredients
  

  • 2 russet potatoes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • salt to taste
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 2 slices bacon cooked, chopped or crumbled (reserve some for garnish, if desired)
  • 1/2 cup cheddar cheese shredded
  • 1 tablespoon chives chopped (+ more for garnish, if desired)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat air fryer to 400F.
  • Meanwhile, wash potatoes and pat them dry. Prick the potatoes with a fork a few times each. Drizzle them with olive oil and rub so that they are well coated. Season them with salt.
  • Cook the potatoes in the air fryer for 25-30 minutes or until they feel fork-tender.
  • Allow the potatoes to cool for a few minutes so they are easier to handle. Then, slice the potatoes in half and scoop out the insides of the potato. Be careful to leave a bit of potato with the skins so that they do not fall apart and become flimsy. Set the potato skins aside.
  • In a bowl, place the scooped potatoes, sour cream, bacon, 1/4 cup of cheddar cheese and chives. Mix to create a creamy mixture, mashing any larger potato bits with a fork if necessary.
  • Scoop the mixture back into the potato skins. Top with the remaining cheddar cheese and place back into the air fryer for 3-4 more minutes or until the cheese is melted. Garnish with chives and bacon, if desired and serve.
