Instructions
Cooking Baked Potatoes in an Air Fryer
Bake your potatoes according to your air fryer manual (each brand will be different). Make sure you season them well before cooking them. Once your baked potatoes are seasoned and cooked, it is time to make the skins for the big game.
Wash and dry your potatoes. Then coat them with olive oil and sea salt
Use a fork and prick each potato 3 to 5 times
Place your potatoes in the air fryer. Only one layer.
Bake at 400 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes. The potatoes are done when a fork can easily pierce the potatoes completely through.
Baking Air Fryer Potato Skins
Slice your potatoes in half and scoop out most of the flesh with a spoon. Don’t scoop out all of the flesh, you want some of that creamy potato goodness with your skins.
Top each potato with bacon crumbles and shredded cheddar cheese.
Place them in a single layer in your air fryer.
Cook for 5 minutes, or until the cheese has melted.
Top with thinly sliced chives and your favorite cool toppings. We chose to top ours with cool and creamy Dean’s Cheddar Bacon Dip.
