Ingredients

4 - russet potatoes
1 tbsp - olive oil
a pinch of salt
black pepper
1 cup - grated cheddar cheese
3 slice - bacon
1 - green onion

Instructions

Bake the potatoes using my air fryer baked potatoes recipe or your favorite cooking method, then set aside until cool enough to handle.
Halve each baked potato, and using the tip of a spoon, gently remove the flesh, leaving about 1/4" border. Be very careful not to tear the potato skin.
Brush the inside of the potatoes with oil and season with salt and pepper to taste. Place (4) potato skins in the air fryer and cook at 400 degrees for 5 minutes, then remove and repeat with the remaining (4) potato skins.
Fill each potato skin with about 2 tablespoons of cheddar cheese (use more if your potatoes are larger), then place (4) in the air fryer and cook at 350 degrees for 3 minutes or until the cheese has melted. Remove and repeat with the remaining (4) potato skins.
Top the potato skins with crumbled bacon, green onions, sour cream, then serve immediately. Enjoy!
