How To Make Air Fryer Easy Potato Skin Recipe

Start by washing your potatoes, and then slice into about 1/2 inch slices. Either pour melted butter on top or olive oil on them. Make sure that they are covered with oil or butter. Set into the air fryer basket for 10-15 minutes at 350 degrees F, air fryer setting.

When the potatoes are fork-tender, add a sprinkle of shredded cheese on top, and then set back into the air fryer until melted. Top with sour cream, bacon bits, and fresh herbs.

SOME GREAT TOPPINGS FOR AIR FRYER LOADED POTATO SKINS

If you are looking for some great toppings, here are some my favorites:

Anything that you love. So many people try to make them Mexican Potato Skins by adding salsa, guacamole, etc.

CAN AIR FRYER LOADED POTATO SKINS BE MADE AHEAD OF TIME

Since it takes minutes to make these, I usually air fry the baked potatoes in the morning and then prepare them in the air fryer, just as I am ready to serve them since they are best served with the melted cheese on them.

If you want to make a batch to Freeze Instead of Buying the Frozen TGIF Frozen Potato Skins. Scoop out the middle of the potato, and then place the potato skin on a baking sheet. Pop the baking sheet into the freezer until the potato skins are frozen solid, remove the baking sheet, and place the frozen potato shell into a Ziploc Bag.

To use from frozen: place them into the air fyrer and cook halfway then add the cheese and bacon.
