Ingredients

  • 4-5 Medium Russet Potatoes, Baked or Air Fried
  • 1 TBS Melted Butter
  • ½ Cup Shredded Cheese such as cheddar or a Mexican blend
  • ¼ Cup Real Bacon Pieces, such as Oscar Mayer Brand or 3-4 slices of crumbled bacon
  • ⅓-½ Cup Sour Cream
  • 2-3 TBS Fresh Chives, Finely Chopped

Instructions

  • When the Potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut potatoes in half long ways down the middle.
  • Scoop out the potato, leaving a little rim of potato close to the skin. Reserve the scooped out potato for another use such as mashed potatoes!
  • Brush the inside of each potato skin with a little melted butter.
  • Set the air fryer to 400º.
  • Place the buttered potato skins in the air fryer and Cook 5-7 minutes until they start to brown.
  • Once browned, remove the potato skins, add a tablespoon or so of shredded cheese and a teaspoon or so of crumbled bacon.
  • Bake for an additional 4-6 minutes, until the cheese has melted.
  • Once the Potato Skins are cooked and crispy serve with sour cream and finely chopped chives.
