Air Fryer Stuffed Baked Potatoes
These stuffed baked potatoes are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, loaded with creamy fillings. They are the ideal comfort food, and the air fryer makes preparing them faster than traditional methods.
Ingredients:
- 4 medium-sized russet potatoes
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup sour cream
- ¼ cup green onions, chopped
- 2 tablespoons butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: cooked bacon bits or any desired toppings
Instructions:
- Start by washing and drying the russet potatoes. Poke holes in each potato using a fork. This helps steam escape during cooking.
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- Place the potatoes in the air fryer basket and cook for 35-40 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork. Make sure to shake the basket halfway through for even cooking.
- Once cooked, let the potatoes cool for a few minutes until they are safe to handle.
- Cut each potato in half lengthwise and scoop out the inner potato into a mixing bowl, leaving a small border around the edges.
- In the mixing bowl, mash the scooped-out potato with butter, sour cream, half of the cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper, mixing until creamy and well combined.
- Stir in most of the green onions, reserving some for garnish.
- Fill the potato skins with the creamy potato mixture and top with the remaining cheddar cheese.
- Return the stuffed potatoes to the air fryer basket, and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Once finished, carefully remove the stuffed potatoes from the air fryer and garnish with the remaining green onions and any additional toppings you desire.
And there you have it! A delightful, cheesy, and hearty dish that will surely impress anyone who tries it. Enjoy your Air Fryer Stuffed Baked Potatoes, and feel free to experiment with different fillings to make this recipe your own!
