Air Fryer

Ingredients

4 large russet potatoes washed
2 tbsp olive oil
½ cup sour cream
3 tbsp butter softened
½ cup milk
2 green onions sliced thin
1 ½ tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
1 cup cheddar cheese divided

Optional garnishes:

chopped bacon
chives

Instructions

Wash the potatoes and poke them with holes all over with a fork.
In a large bowl toss the potatoes with some salt and olive oil.
Place the potatoes into the basket of the air fryer and cook at 400 F for 35 to 40 minutes, until they are fork tender.
Remove the potatoes from the basket and allow to cool for a few minutes.
Once cooled, cut each potato in half and scoop out the majority of the potatoes into a large mixing bowl. Set the potato skins aside.
Add the sour cream, butter, milk, green onions, salt, pepper, and ¾ cup of cheddar cheese into the bowl. Using a masher or fork, mash the potatoes until they are creamy in texture. Add the mashed potatoes back into each potato skins and top with the remaining cheddar cheese. Place the potatoes back into the air fryer basket and cook at 350 F for an additional 2 minutes.
Garnish with chopped bacon and chives.

Notes

Instead of shredded cheddar cheese, you can use mozzarella cheese, swiss cheese, parmesan cheese, or Monterey Jack cheese.
Feel free to add other add-ins to the potato filling, such as jalapeños, red pepper flakes, caramelized onions, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, ranch dressing, and more! The sky’s the limit.
Try to buy potatoes similar in size, so they cook evenly.
Always give the potatoes a good scrub before you use them, as the skin is edible. Pat them dry before tossing them in oil, which will help the oil and seasoning stick better.
