⅓cupbacon bitsoptional
½cupshredded sharp cheddar cheese
Potato Skin Garnishes
¼cupsour cream or 2-4% Greek yogurt
2-3tablespoonssliced cilantro leaves
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Pierce each potato 2-3 times with a sharp knife.
Place the potatoes in the oven, directly on the baking rack. Bake the potatoes for 50-60 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and cooked through.
Remove the potatoes from the oven. Very carefully slice the potatoes in half and scoop outall but ¼-inch of the potato flesh next to the skin
Spray the pulp and skin sides of the potato skin with non-stick cooking spray. With the pulp side up, sprinkle 2 teaspoons black olives, 2 teaspoons green onions, and 2 teaspoons bacon bits (if using) into each skin. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon shredded cheese over the toppings.
Preheat the air fryer fitted with a rack or spacious basket to 350 degrees for 2-3 minutes.
Add the potato skins, filling side up, to the air fryer rack or basket, leaving 1-1 ½ inches between the skins. Air fry for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and turning golden.
Remove the skins from the air fryer and serve hot with sour cream, Greek yogurt, cilantro, and any of your other favorite garnishes.
Notes
1. Leftovers last covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. You can freeze them (without any garnishes) in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months.2. For best results, reheat the potato skins on low heat in the toaster oven for 1-2 minutes or low heat (300 degrees) in an air fryer until re-crisped and warmed.3. These additional toppings are also delicious on these air fryer skins: shredded BBQ pork or chicken, diced brisket, diced sweet pepper, or diced sweet onion. You can also garnish these potato skins with chip dip, salsa, diced tomatoes or pico de gallo, or guacamole. 4. For best results, don't crowd the air fryer. This will help keep the skins nice and crispy.
