This Air Fryer Twice-Baked Potatoes recipe offers a quick and delicious twist on the classic twice-baked potato by using the air fryer for a crispy exterior and creamy filling. Perfect for a comforting side dish or a satisfying snack, these potatoes are loaded with cheese and sour cream for rich flavor and a soft, fluffy texture inside.

Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

  • 4 medium russet potatoes

Filling

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons butter

Instructions

  1. Bake Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). Wash and dry the russet potatoes, then prick them a few times with a fork. Place them directly on the oven rack and bake for about 45-60 minutes until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
  2. Prepare Filling: Once baked, allow the potatoes to cool slightly. Then slice each potato in half lengthwise and carefully scoop out the flesh into a bowl, leaving a thin shell to maintain the shape. Add shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, butter, salt, and pepper to the potato flesh, and mix until creamy and well combined.
  3. Stuff Potatoes: Spoon the cheesy potato mixture back into the potato skins, distributing evenly and mounding slightly.
  4. Air Fry Potatoes: Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Place the stuffed potatoes into the air fryer basket in a single layer. Air fry for 10-15 minutes until the tops are golden brown and crispy and the cheese is melted.
  5. Serve: Carefully remove the potatoes from the air fryer. Let them cool slightly before serving as a delicious side dish or hearty snack.

Notes

  • You can add cooked bacon bits or chopped green onions to the filling for extra flavor.
  • Adjust the amount of sour cream and cheese to your taste and desired creaminess.
  • For a lower-fat version, use reduced-fat cheese and substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream.
  • Ensure the potatoes are of roughly equal size for even cooking.
  • If you don’t have an oven, you can bake the potatoes entirely in the air fryer by cooking them at 400°F for about 35-40 minutes until tender.
