How to Make Air Fryer Twice Baked Potatoes

This recipe only requires a few easy to find ingredients and an air fryer. This is what you will need:

Russet Potatoes
Butter
Sour Cream
Bacon Bits
Cheddar Cheese
Salt
Black Pepper

Before you begin, wash the potatoes. Then pierce each potato a few times with a fork so the air can escape. You need to do this so the potatoes don’t explode while cooking in the air fryer.

Then place the potatoes in a single layer in the basket of the air fryer and cook them for 40 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit. You can also bake the potatoes in the microwave if you prefer or want to speed up the baking time.

Once the potatoes are baked, remove them from the air fryer. Then cut them in half, scoop out the insides, and put the flesh into a large bowl. Yet, while removing the insides of the potatoes you want to make sure to leave the skins fully intact. Next, add the butter, sour cream, bacon bits, and cheese along with some salt and pepper to the potato in the bowl. Then mash everything together with a fork until it’s well combined.

Now, divide the mashed potato mixture into 4 and scoop it back into the potato skin shells to stuff. Then put the stuffed potatoes into the air fryer basket in a single layer. Finally, bake them for another 8 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

When done, remove the air fryer twice baked potatoes from the basket and enjoy!
