Step 1

Using the halved cooked potatoes, scoop out a bit of the potato flesh to make a pocket and set it aside. *Don’t scoop too much out as we want to eat the potato too. Repeat for all potatoes.

Step 2

Drizzle olive oil over the top/flesh of the potatoes, then brush to coat completely. Sprinkle salt and pepper over potato skins. Sprinkle ranch dressing seasoning over the potato if desired (optional, but I recommend).

Step 3

Add the potato skins to the air fryer basket and set to 400 degrees and 5 minutes. Remove basket.

Step 4

Add shredded cheese and bacon crumbles to the pocket of the potato skins. Close the air fryer basket and reduce the temperature to 350 degrees. Set the timer for 2 minutes (cook additional minute if needed). Carefully remove potato skins.

Step 5

Top the potato skins with desired toppings such as sour cream and green onions. Enjoy!
