1. Preheat the Air Fryer:

2. Prepare the Potatoes:

Scrub the potatoes clean and pat them dry. Pierce each potato with a fork a few times.

3. Air Fry the Potatoes:

Lightly rub the potatoes with olive oil and place them in the preheated air fryer basket.
Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 40-45 minutes or until the potatoes are tender and the skin is crispy.

4. Cool and Cut:

Allow the potatoes to cool for a few minutes until they are easy to handle. Cut each potato in half lengthwise.

5. Scoop Out the Flesh:

Use a spoon to carefully scoop out the flesh, leaving about 1/4 inch of potato attached to the skin. Save the scooped-out potato for another use.

6. Season and Air Fry Again:

In a bowl, mix together olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Brush this mixture over the inside and outside of the potato skins.
Place the seasoned potato skins back into the air fryer basket and air fry at 400°F (200°C) for an additional 10 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.

7. Add Toppings:

Remove the potato skins from the air fryer and sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over each skin. Return them to the air fryer for 2-3 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

8. Garnish and Serve:

Sprinkle crumbled bacon over the cheesy potato skins. Garnish with sour cream and chopped green onions if desired.

9. Enjoy:

Note:

Customize the toppings to your liking, such as diced tomatoes, jalapeños, or a dollop of guacamole.
Ensure you don’t scoop out too much potato flesh, as leaving some behind helps the skins hold their shape.
Adjust the cooking time based on the size and thickness of your potatoes and your air fryer model.
