Instructions

Step 1: Cook Potatoes:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
    Prick the potatoes 2-3 times on each side with a fork.
  • Add water and salt to a medium bowl and stir to combine. One at a time add the potato into the salted water and roll around to cover the potato.
    Transfer the potatoes to a baking sheet topped with a wire rack.
  • Bake for 40-50 minutes or until the potatoes are tender. Allow the potatoes to cool.

Step 2: Air Fryer :

  • Preheat air fryer to 400 degrees. Spray the rack insert with non stick cooking spray.
  • Cut the potatoes in half and scoop out most of the flesh of the potatoes leaving about a 1/2 inch.
  • Drizzle the potato skins with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
  • Air fry for 6 minutes then top with shredded cheese and bacon.
    Air fry again for an additional 4-6 minutes or until the cheese is melty and the potato skin is crisp on the bottom.
  • Serve potato skins immediately with sour cream and green onions for serving!
