Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Cheesy Bacon Stuffed Air Fryer Potatoes.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your air fryer to a cozy 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
While it warms up, gently brush your potatoes with a teaspoon of olive oil, ensuring they’re well-coated.
Step 3
Place the potatoes in the air fryer basket and let them cook for 10 minutes, allowing their natural flavors to develop.
Step 4
After this initial cooking time, give the potatoes another brush with a teaspoon of olive oil and continue cooking for an additional 10 minutes.
Step 5
Once that’s done, coat the potatoes with the last teaspoon of olive oil and let them cook until they’re tender, which should take about 10 more minutes.
Step 6
When they’re perfectly cooked, slice the potatoes in half and scoop out the insides into a bowl.
Step 7
Stir in a generous 1/4 cup of cheddar cheese, mixing until well combined.
Step 8
In a skillet over medium-high heat, sauté diced onion and bacon, turning occasionally until the bacon is beautifully browned, which should take around 10 minutes.
Step 9
Fold the cooked onion and bacon into your cheesy potato mixture, then stuff this delightful blend back into the potato skins.
Step 10
Top with the remaining cheddar cheese for that extra melty goodness.
Step 11
Finally, return the stuffed potatoes to the air fryer and cook until the cheese is irresistibly melted, about 6 minutes.
Step 12
Enjoy your deliciously cheesy air-fried stuffed potatoes, a perfect blend of crispy skin and creamy filling!.
