Air fryer twice baked potatoes are a delicious and convenient way to enjoy this classic dish. Here’s a recipe to guide you through the process:
Ingredients:
- 4 large baking potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash the potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. Prick each potato several times with a fork to allow steam to escape while cooking.
- Rub the potatoes with olive oil, ensuring they are coated evenly. Place the potatoes in the air fryer basket or on the air fryer tray, making sure to leave space between them for even cooking.
- Cook the potatoes in the air fryer for about 40-50 minutes, or until they are tender and the skins are crispy. Cooking times may vary depending on the size of your potatoes and the specific model of your air fryer, so keep an eye on them.
- Once the potatoes are cooked, carefully remove them from the air fryer and let them cool slightly until they are safe to handle. Reduce the air fryer temperature to 350°F (175°C).
- Cut each potato in half lengthwise. Using a spoon, scoop out the flesh of the potatoes, leaving a thin layer of potato attached to the skins. Place the scooped-out potato flesh in a mixing bowl.
- To the bowl with the potato flesh, add sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and sliced green onions. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix everything together until well combined.
- Spoon the potato mixture back into the potato skins, dividing it evenly among them. Place the stuffed potato halves back in the air fryer basket or on the air fryer tray.
- Return the potatoes to the air fryer and cook at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes, or until the filling is heated through and the cheese is melted and slightly golden.
- Once the twice baked potatoes are done, carefully remove them from the air fryer. Allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve the air fryer twice baked potatoes as a side dish or as a main course with your favorite toppings such as additional sour cream, bacon, green onions, or chives.
Enjoy your delicious air fryer twice baked potatoes!
