Air Fryer Potato Skins Recipe

How to Make Potato Skins in the Air Fryer

Make these delicious air fryer potato skins for an awesome appetizer or a side dish to your meal! They are fantastic with a juicy steak to pair with it! I like to make these for football games like the super bowl, people love to dip them in sour cream!

• What will I need to make this recipe?
  1. You will need the following ingredients:
     • 6 baked potatoes
     • 1 tsp salt
     • 1 tsp garlic
     • ½ tsp pepper
     • 1 cup of cheddar
     • 1 cup of Colby jack cheese
     • ½ cup of bacon bits ( I used store-bought )
     • ½  cup of chopped green onions
     • ½ cup of sour cream
  2. You will need the following supplies:
     • Spoon
     • Bowl
     • Air fryer

• How do I store potato skins?
  • Don’t put sour cream on the potatoes and you can store them in an air tight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. To heat them up just place them into the air fryer for 3-4 min and then top them with sour cream and spring onions.
• What are some substitutions I can make?
  • You swap out the cheese for a cheese you prefer. White cheddar and Monterrey jack works well. 
•   Can I make this ahead of time and freeze it?
  • Yes, once you don’t put any toppings on. Let the potato skins cool completely then store them in a zip lock bag for up to 3 months.
