Crispy Vegan Air Fryer Potato Skins

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Vegan Air Fryer Potato Skins.

1. Step 1

   Start by giving your russet potatoes a good wash to remove any dirt, then grab a fork and poke several holes in their skin.

2. Step 2

   This little step helps steam escape while they cook.

3. Step 3

   Pop the potatoes in the microwave and let them cook for about 5 minutes on each side until they’re nice and tender.

4. Step 4

   Once they’re done, carefully slice them in half lengthwise and scoop out the insides, leaving about a quarter-inch of potato in the skin to keep them sturdy.

5. Step 5

   Now, it’s time to preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C).

6. Step 6

   Lightly spritz the insides of the potato skins with some olive oil cooking spray, then place them hollow-side up in the air fryer basket.

7. Step 7

   Air fry those beauties for around 5 minutes, or until the edges start to get crispy and golden.

8. Step 8

   When they’re ready, take them out and fill each skin with about a tablespoon of vegan cheese, making sure to spread it evenly.

9. Step 9

   Pop the filled potato skins back into the air fryer and cook for another 5 to 7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, creating that irresistible gooey texture.

10. Step 10

    To finish, sprinkle each potato skin with a tablespoon of diced tomatoes and a tablespoon of textured vegetable protein for a delightful crunch and flavor.
