Description
Crispy, cheesy potato skins made effortlessly in your air fryer. Perfect as an appetizer or snack!
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium russet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup cooked and crumbled bacon (optional)
- Sour cream and chopped green onions for serving
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash and scrub the potatoes, then pierce them several times with a fork.
- Rub the potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Place the potatoes in the air fryer basket and cook for 35-40 minutes, or until fork-tender.
- Remove the potatoes and let them cool for a few minutes. Once cool enough to handle, slice each potato in half lengthwise and scoop out some of the flesh, leaving a thin layer.
- Return the potato halves to the air fryer basket, skin-side down, and sprinkle shredded cheese and crumbled bacon (if using) on top.
- Cook in the air fryer for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve warm with sour cream and chopped green onions on top.
Notes
- For extra crispy skins, you can spray the potato skins with cooking spray before adding cheese.
- Feel free to customize the toppings with jalapeños, green chilies, or your favorite cheese blend.
