Crispy Bacon-Stuffed Air Fryer Potatoes
Ingredients
  • 4 baking potatoes, peeled and halved
  • 3 teaspoons olive oil, divided
  • 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1/2 yellow onion, diced fine
  • 2 slices bacon
Instructions
1
Preheat the air fryer to its highest temperature setting, which is equivalent to 350 degrees F (or 175 degrees C).
2
Next, lightly anoint the potatoes with a small amount of oil, just enough to coat them evenly. Place the potatoes in the air fryer basket and cook for 10 minutes, or until they are partially cooked.
3
Then, give the potatoes another light coating of oil and continue cooking for an additional 10 minutes, or until they are tender to the touch.
4
Once the potatoes are cooked, cut them in half lengthwise and scoop out their soft interior. Transfer the potato flesh to a bowl and mix it with a generous helping of Cheddar cheese.
5
In a separate pan, sauté the onion and bacon over high heat, stirring occasionally, until the bacon is nicely browned on all sides. This should take around 10 minutes.
6
Mix the cooked onion and bacon into the mashed potato mixture, creating a delicious filling. Stuff this mixture into the hollowed-out potato skins.
7
Finally, sprinkle any remaining Cheddar cheese on top of the stuffed potatoes and return them to the air fryer. Cook until the cheese is melted and bubbly, taking about 6 minutes to achieve.
