Instructions

Wash the potatoes to remove any dirt.
Coat the potatoes in the oil and place them in an air fryer basket.
Cook at 400° for 30 minutes. Make sure they are cooked by poking with a fork with no resistance.
Cut the potatoes in half long ways and scoop out the insides forming a boat. Leave about a ¼” of potato.
Mix your spices, spray or brush the potatoes with oil, and season.
Sprinkle a good amount of cheese and bacon in each potato and season the top with the remaining spices.
Place back in the air fryer basket and cook at 350° for 10 minutes until cheese is melted and potato edges are crispy. Let rest in air fryer for 5 minutes.
Remove and garnish with the green onions. Serve with ranch as a dipping sauce.

Notes

Refrigerate: Leftover air fryer potato skins can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Freezer: You can also place the container in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Thaw and Reheat: To reheat potato skins in the air fryer, preheat to 350°F, arrange them in a single layer in the basket, and heat for 3-5 minutes until crispy. For frozen skins, reheat for 5-7 minutes.
