Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 medium russet potatoes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ cup sour cream (plus more for topping, if desired)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried chives
  • 1 teaspoon dried dill
  • 1 cup + 3 tablespoons shredded cheddar cheese (divided)
  • 1 cup + 3 tablespoons cooked, chopped bacon, divided (bacon bits can also be used)
  • ½ cup green onions, sliced (for topping, if desired)

Instructions

  • Scrub and dry potatoes. Drizzle olive oil over potatoes and use a pastry brush to brush oil over each potato, covering completely. Season with salt and pepper. Using a fork, poke the potatoes three times on each side.
  • Preheat air fryer (if your model has this version). Place potatoes into the air fryer and cook at 390℉ for 35-40 minutes, or until a knife pierces through them easily.
  • Remove potatoes from the air fryer and slice in half the long way. Let cool for 10-15 minutes.
  • Once cooled, scoop out the inside of the potato with a spoon and place into a bowl. Be sure to leave ½ inch border of potato along the skin.
  • Add sour cream, butter, salt, pepper, garlic powder, chives, and dill to the bowl with the potatoes. Mix together until light and fluffy, adding more sour cream, if needed.
  • Add one cup of cheddar cheese and one cup of chopped bacon to potato mixture and stir well.
  • Fill each potato skin with potato mixture. Top with remaining 3 tablespoons of shredded cheese. Place potatoes back into the air fryer and cook at 350℉ for 12-15 minutes, or until filling is warmed through and cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Remove potatoes from air fryer and top with remaining chopped bacon and green onions. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Store leftover potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days.
  • To reheat potatoes, either warm in the microwave for 2-3 minutes or cook in the air fryer at 350℉ for 10-12 minutes, or until warmed through.
