4.9 from 119 reviews

Delicious and easy Air Fryer Twice Baked Potatoes featuring fluffy mashed potato filling blended with cheese, sour cream, and butter, then crisped to perfection in the air fryer for a quick and satisfying side dish or snack.

Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

  • 4 medium Russet potatoes

Filling

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Bake Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and dry the potatoes thoroughly. Pierce each potato a few times with a fork and bake directly on the oven rack for about 45 minutes or until tender when pierced with a fork.
  2. Prepare Filling: Once baked, allow the potatoes to cool slightly. Cut each potato in half lengthwise and carefully scoop out the insides into a bowl, leaving a small border to maintain the shape.
  3. Mash and Mix: Mash the scooped potato with butter, sour cream, and cheddar cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste, mixing until smooth and creamy.
  4. Refill Potatoes: Spoon the mashed potato mixture back into the potato skins, mounding the filling slightly.
  5. Air Fry Potatoes: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Place the filled potatoes in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Air fry for 10-12 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and the filling is heated through.

Notes

  • You can add additional toppings such as cooked bacon bits, chopped green onions, or extra cheese before air frying for enhanced flavor.
  • Use Russet potatoes for best texture and consistency suitable for mashing.
  • If you don’t have an air fryer, you can finish the potatoes under a broiler for 3-5 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
  • Adjust seasonings in the filling to your preference, adding garlic powder or chives for extra flavor.
