Ingredients

Scale

2 medium russet potatoes (about 300g each)
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp salt
2 tbsp unsalted butter
1/4 cup sour cream
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (divided)
1/4 cup bacon bits
2 tbsp chopped chives or green onions

Instructions

Wash and dry the russet potatoes, then pierce them multiple times with a fork.
Rub the potatoes with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Place in the air fryer at 400°F (200°C) for 35-40 minutes until tender.
Allow the potatoes to cool slightly, then halve them lengthwise and scoop out the flesh into a bowl, leaving a small border.
Mash the potato flesh with butter, sour cream, half of the cheese, and bacon bits until creamy.
Spoon the mixture back into the skins, topping with remaining cheese and bacon bits.
Return to air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes until heated through and cheese is melted.
