Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 Russet potatoes
  • 1 tsp oil (olive oil or spray)
  • Salt and pepper
  • 2 Tbsp butter (divided)
  • 2 Tbsp sour cream or Greek yogurt (divided)
  • 2 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled (divided)
  • 1 green onion or chives, minced (divided)
  • 1/4 cup cheddar cheese, grated (divided)

Instructions

  1. Prep the potatoes by washing them thoroughly and poking holes with a fork to avoid bursting.
  2. Coat each potato with oil and season generously with salt and pepper.
  3. Place the potatoes in a preheated air fryer at 380°F (193°C) and cook for about 40 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  4. Check doneness by gently pressing; they should feel soft.
  5. Let them rest for 5-10 minutes to enhance fluffiness.
  6. Cut open each potato lengthwise, add butter, cheese, and microwave until melted. Top with sour cream, green onions, and bacon.
