Equipment

Ingredients

3 russet potatoes
2 tsp olive oil
1/4 tsp kosher salt
1 clove garlic {finely minced}
1/3 cup sour cream
2 tbsp whole milk {or half and half}
1/4 cup cheddar cheese {shredded}{plus more for toppings if desired}
1/8 tsp ground black pepper
2 strips bacon {cooked and chopped}
1 green onion {sliced}

Instructions

Scrub the outside of potatoes, and dry off with a clean kitchen towel.
3 russet potatoes
Poke 7-10 holes in the skin of each potato with a fork.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add olive oil, salt, and minced garlic.
2 tsp olive oil, 1/4 tsp kosher salt, 1 clove garlic
Put a potato in the bowl and swirl it around until the entire potato is covered in the oil/salt/garlic mixture. Move to the air fryer basket. Repeat with the other potatoes.
Bake at 350˚F for 34 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Remove potatoes from the basket and let them cool for ~10 minutes or until you can safely handle them.
Cut potatoes in half lengthwise, and carefully scoop out the flesh into a bowl. Set skins aside.
Add sour cream, milk/cream, cheddar cheese, black pepper, and an optional pinch of kosher salt. Gently mash until mostly smooth.
1/3 cup sour cream, 2 tbsp whole milk , 1/4 cup cheddar cheese, 1/8 tsp ground black pepper
Spoon the mixture into the potato skins and bake in the air fryer at 350˚F for an additional 5 minutes.
Top with optional additional cheddar cheese and chopped bacon and bake for an additional minute if desired. Top with green onions and serve.
1/4 cup cheddar cheese, 2 strips bacon, 1 green onion

Notes

You can use plain Greek yogurt or softened cream cheese in place of sour cream.
If you're using larger potatoes, you may need to cook them for ~37 minutes. Depending on the size of your air fryer you may consider reducing to two larger potatoes.
Potatoes are done with a knife easily pierces into the skin.
