Bacon: You can use bacon bits, cook the bacon in the air fryer, microwave or skillet! Anything works! Remember they are your Air Fryer Cheesy Bacon Roasted Potatoes!

Need to make your roasted potatoes ahead of time? No problem! Slice the potatoes and combine them with all other ingredients, then place them into a large bowl.

Instead of air frying, cover in refrigerator for 8 to 10 hours. When ready to make your loaded potatoes, place them into the air fryer, and continue with the recipe! A great and easy Air Fryer Side Dish!
