AIR FRYER POTATO SKINS RECIPES

Steps:

• Cook the potatoes using your preferred method. See methods in post.
• Half the potatoes lengthwise. Scoop out the center of the potato to leave 1/4" of flesh around the skin.
• Coat the potatoes with the reserved bacon grease or olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Add the potatoes in a single layer to the air fryer basket. Cook for 5 minutes at 400 degrees F. Open the basket and add the cheese and bacon crumbles to the center of each potato. Cook for 2 more minutes, until the cheese is melted.
• Transfer the potato skins to a plate and top with green onions and sour cream. Serve right away with additional toppings, if desired.

Steps:

• Wash potatoes and puncture holes in the skin with a fork.
• Cook potatoes in the microwave for 5 minutes on each side. Remove from microwave and cut in half lengthwise. Using a small spoon, scoop out the flesh, leaving 1/4 inch of potato flesh in the shell.
• Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spritz the inside of the potato shells with olive oil cooking spray. Set potatoes in the air fryer basket, hollowed-out side up.
• Air fry until edges start to crisp, about 5 minutes. Remove and fill each potato skin with about 1 tablespoon vegan cheese. Return to the air fryer basket and cook until cheese is melted, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Top cooked potato skins with 1 tablespoon diced tomatoes and 1 tablespoon textured vegetable protein.
