Ingredients

4 small russet potatoes, baked and cooled
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1/2 cup Colby Jack cheese, shredded and divided
2 tablespoons bacon, cooked and crumbled
1/4 cup sour cream, divided
1 green onion, sliced

Instructions

Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise. Use a small spoon to carefully remove the flesh from the inside, leaving a 1⁄4-inch “rim”.
Brush the potatoes with olive oil, then season with salt.
Place the potatoes into the air fryer basket with the cut side up.
Cook in the air fryer at 375° Fahrenheit for 6 minutes or until golden and soft.
Open the basket and sprinkle the cheese evenly inside each potato skin. Continue to cook for 6 more minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
Remove the skins from the basket and fill with sour cream, bacon, and sliced green onions.
Serve warm as the perfect side dish, appetizer, or game-day food!
