How to cook deliciously - Air-Fryer Potato Skins

1. Stage

Cut the prebaked potatoes in half lengthwise. Scoop out the pulp, leaving 1/4-inch shell, and save the potato pulp for another use. Editor’s Tip: I like to use a paring knife to make a border around the potato, and then I use a small spoon or melon baller to scoop out the pulp.

2. Stage

Combine the melted butter, olive oil, garlic salt and pepper in a small bowl. Brush the mixture over both sides of the potato skins.

3. Stage

Preheat the air fryer to 400°F. Cook the potatoes, cut side down, for four minutes. Flip the potatoes so the skin side is down and cook for three more minutes. Editor’s Tip: The potatoes and air-fryer basket will be hot, so flip the potatoes with tongs to keep your hands safe.

4. Stage

Sprinkle the shredded cheese and crumbled bacon inside the potato skins. Bake in the air fryer until the cheese is melted and the bacon is crisp, three to four minutes longer. Editor’s Tip: Each potato skin should contain approximately 4 tablespoons of cheese and 1 tablespoon of bacon.

5. Stage

Top the potato skins with sour cream and chives, if desired. Serve immediately.
