Instructions
- 1. Cut the cooled baked potatoes in half lengthwise. Use a small spoon to carefully remove the potato from the inside, leaving about a ½-inch rim of flesh.
- 2. Preheat the air fryer to 380F, spraying the inner basket with cooking spray.
- 3. Brush or spray the inside and outside of the potato shells with oil. Generously season with salt and pepper.
- 4. Place the potatoes into the air fryer basket, skin side down. Air fry for 10 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking time.
- 5. Flip the skins so the hollow-out half is upright. Divide the cheese evenly between each of the potato skins.
- 6. Air fry for 5 more minutes or until potato skin is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- 7. Remove the hot skins to a plate, then load them up with sour cream, bacon, and green onions/chives; serve warm with ranch dressing.
