Ingredients

  • 3 large Russet Potatoes
  • 1 Tablespoon Homemade Seasoning Salt Note 1 or your favorite Seasoning Salt
  • 3 Tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • cup cheddar cheese, shredded Note 2½
  • 3 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • sour cream, chopped chives or chopped green onions optional garnish

Instructions

  • Wash the potatoes and using a fork prick holes around the potato. ( This ensures air to escape and the potato will not explode)                 
  • Preheat the air fryer to 400°F.
  • Place the potatoes in the air fryer basket, leave room so they do not touch. Do not over crowd the potatoes.
  • Bake the potatoes at 400°F for 60 minutes, rotating the potatoes every 20 minutes. The potatoes will be rotated 3 times. The potatoes will be soft and a fork or toothpick should easily slide into the skin of the potato.  
  • Cut the potatoes in half ,long ways. Use a spoon to scoop out the inside and place the flesh of the potato in a large mixing bowl.
  •   To the large mixing bowl, mix in half of the shredded cheese, the unsalted butter, heavy cream, sour cream, and seasoning salt.
  • Add the mixture back in the hollowed-out potatoes. Top with the remaining shredded cheese and bake in air fryer on 350 for 5 minutes.
  • Top with bacon, sour cream, chives, and any of your favorite toppings.

Notes

Be sure to check Expert Tips and FAQs above with important tips and questions that can help make a delicious recipe.
Note 1: In lieu of the seasoning salt, you can use ½ teaspoon each of salt, black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder as a substitute. 
Note 2: Use your favorite cheese. We recommend grating the cheese instead if using pre-shredded cheese that usually has a waxy coating which makes it more difficult to melt.  Any combo of cheddar, Monterey Jack, Gruyere, Colby Jack, etc is delicious.
