Loaded Air Fryer Potato Skins are surprisingly easy and fun to make appetizers. Skip going out to order them at a restaurant when they’re so inexpensive and easy to prep at home!
Poke holes into each potato several times with a fork. Rub oil all over each potato. Place the potatoes in the air fryer and cook until the skins are crisp and inside is tender, about 50 minutes. Allow potatoes to cool for about 10 minutes.
Slice each potato in half lengthwise with a serrated knife. Using a spoon, scoop out the flesh, leaving about ¼-inch intact, reserve the flesh for another use. Brush the skin side and the inside of the potatoes with melted butter and season both sides with salt and pepper. Place skin side down in the air fryer for 5 minutes at 400° F until the edges just start to brown.
Fill each skin with cheese and crumbled bacon. Place back in the air fryer at 400° F until the cheese is melted and bubbling, about 2-5 minutes, keep a close eye on it. Remove from the air fryer and top each with sour cream and green onions. Serve immediately.
Notes
Leftovers can be reheated in a 400°F oven for 5 minutes, or air fryer at 400°F for 2-5 minutes.
